I had my first oil change within the first 1000 miles and then the second in the next 1000 miles as I wanted to make sure to rid my oil of any metal shavings while the engine broke in. How long has the current oil been in the car? Rule of thumb... Even if a car is sitting, I'd never let it go past a year without an oil change.
I thought these cars came with a special oil from the dealership that helps facilitate the break in process? As in you shouldn't chagne the oil early unless the car has been in storage etc
