I will get mine at 1000 miles. I am thinking about Mobil 1 I am not sure if I need to wait till 3000 for synthetic though. From what I have read some say 1000 is ok and others say 3-5000. I am at about 475 miles now.

We did our first at 500 and will do another at 2000 and switch to Mobil 1. After that it will probably be every 3000 miles. My hubby isn't too sure about the 5000 mile interval.

500 km first oil change just in case of chips or burr's in pan from factory ,then every 3000 km .Oils not just a lubricant it's a cleaner as well ,so the more often you change it the cleaner the motor will stay in the long run.

If anybody has changed their own oil......is it a 'clean drain'? 
Just curious if oil drains all over cross members or anything else, or if it's a straight shot to the drain pan (including filter).

Why are some of you folks changine the oil after only 1000 miles.
The maintenance guide says every 5000 miles I think.

But why change the oil after only 1000 miles.
the manual never mentions changing the oil after the first 1000 miles. What is the logic behind this ?
