i did it, i was in the same boat as you. Do it, it can't hurt. I noticed the oil to be pretty dirty when i drained it, so I'd say it was a good move. You only get one shot at break in, may as well stay on the safe side...

I just did my 3 month, 2600 km oil change...good idea, but I probably won't do another one now for 6 months...

I would change it when you get then chance and again at 3,000. The oil test reports have shown there is clear reasons to change before the 3,000 mark with your first change.

First at 1500 mi...then 5k, 10K, 15K. All changes with Castyrol Syntec 0W -30 (German) and K&N Gold filtration. The 3.5 is nearly dead silent at idle and like silk under load. Couldn't ask for more!

Any particular reason you decided to go with 0W-30 ?
