Here's my plans when I get my car:

Drive 50 miles - do oil change w/ nissan ester + oil filter
drive 500 miles, oil change w/ nissan ester + oil filter
drive to 2,000 miles - do oil change to full syn w/ esters + oil filter

A lot of people give me crap for my thought process on oil changes on brand new cars, but im ok with that. I have inspected my oil after 50 miles of driving (new motors), and this is the outcome inside of 50 miles:

there's so much metal crud in there, imagine how blocked the oil filter must be, and imagine those metal peices flying around your engine for 2,000 miles!
