ok so which one is right??
i guess i took my friends' advice and started driving to redline in first (the little light showed up indicating i was in the 8,000 rpm, which i did on accident a few times). is this bad for my engine??
i also heard get an oil change at 1,000 miles, or 1,500 miles or the 2,000 miles.
I did read a lot of the threads on this site about this issue.
and a lot of you guys contradict each other..
so i have no idea what to believe.

The shift light doesn't indicate "8000" rpm's. The car in stock form doesn't do that many rpm's. I have a tune that allows me to hit 8000 rpm's and I'm not even able to hit that on the track. I've only seen it happen on the dyno with my car.
You drive it however you want my friend. And do us a favor and yourself, don't ask a question that you are looking for a definitive answer to on a forum full of "contradiction". That just makes no sense.
Regarding your first oil change, I always have been a fan of the 1000 miler.
Good luck to you.
