Just curious when others are planning on doing their first oil change and after. I only have 400 miles on mine and was planning on using my free dealer oil change at 1000 miles. Even though it is not recommended in any manual, I've heard/read it is good practice to do the first one this early to potentially get out new engine micro debris from the manufacturing process. I'm not an engine guru but would like to think that modern tolerances and manufacturing are beyond this, thoughts?
I know everyone has their opinion on regularly scheduled oil changes, some do every 3K or 5K, and then there are those that take it out to 10K because that is what the automatic maintenance system tells them, like on the CX-50. The manual says under normal driving oil changes are every 10K, which I think is way too long. It also says under severe driving conditions oil changes are every 5K. I plan on rolling with every 5K or possibly sooner, but am curious as to what others plan on doing for regular intervals on oil changes. Thanks ahead of time for your insight.
