Entirely your choice of course, but I consider this barely run in for this engine. See Characters mileage posts.
If I'd rigidly met or exceeded the service requirements, I'd not hesitate at that mileage.

Transgenic tomato anyone?
I have to agree with above. If you were good about your service intervals 75k miles is nothing on a modern engine.Sceen name use to be "wantsanlr3"
