I regret not doing oil samples during my first 3 years of ownership. It'll give you alot of info on if engine issues are looming even whether you want to buy extended warranty. Believe me, a bit of foresight today is better than second guessing these things 5 years down the line.
there's a lot to read here, but the key takeaway I got was, monitor the oil sample religiously during EVERY oil change:
