Oil changes

I heard from a friend that it is a good idea to change my oil at or around 1000 miles.... My G is at around 1100 miles.... should get a change or is it ok to wait until the recommended 3750? If anyone has any advice, please let me know!

Thanks in advance...

Re: Oil changes

I talked to my mechanic yesterday about when I should do the first oil change on my Coupe when I get it. He said about 2000 miles. He recommended I switch it over to synthetic oil.

Re: Oil changes

Infiniti service guys let you put in synethetic that early? Mine says wait till 10k mile because the gaskets need natural oils of the regular oil.

Re: Oil changes

I'm currently driving an A4 - Audi strongly recommends NOT changing the oil early so that the rings (and other bits) will seat properly. I've read this elsewhere as well and imagine that this is the case with many or all engines.

Re: Oil changes

My Infiniti dealer also does not recommend the 1st oil change until at least 4000 miles. Says that the original oil is a special blend that helps with the break-in. Synthetics are also not recommended until at least 8-12k miles as they are too slippery for remainder of break-in. The cars that start with synthetics (Vette, M-Bs, Vipers, etc) have an engine that is designed wirh synthetics in mind ie. tolerances, etc.
