Does my Volvo S40 FFV really need a service already?

I own a Volvo S40 FFV; last service was 90,000km when I bought it, with oil, oil filter, cabin filter and brakes done. Now at 98,000km a message on the dash says book for next service. Does it now need new oil and oil filter only after 8,000km? This seems very little with modern oil and filters.

Thank you
