So is it necessary to change the engine oil at the 1st 1k mile?

 

necessary? no but alot of people think it is a good idea and do it. I did a first change early, the cost of an oil change is pretty cheap.

 

i did

 

Certainly doesn't hurt. The first few oil changes exhibit plenty of wear metals and silicon from the manufacturing process.

I changed mine today at 640 miles. It's not nearly as hard as the DIY describes: remove only the 3 rightmost bolts on the belly pan and pull it down for access to the filter.

 

changed mine at 1K as well........why not? not a cost issue thats for sure...

 

I changed the factory oil at 740 miles and started using Mobil l 5/30. That's
what I've done with my last two vehicles and it works for me. At 8,000 miles
I switched to 10/30 Mobil l, don't need thin oil in Calif.....

 

I had mine changed at 1200 and the dealer did it for free. Better to get out the break-in oil

 

I also changed before 1,000. The analysis have clearly shown a benefit to doing the first oil change way before the 3,000 mile mark. Why not be safe?

 

Changed mine at 1,100.00
