Hey guys

Well I'm just about to hit 1200 miles now and heard its good to change the oil after that break in period. My question (and yes I've searched) is if switching to Redline 5w30 now would be alright, or is it too early? I see some people state that you should stay with Nissan's oil for the first two or so, and some say switch right away. I guess if i am supposed to stay with their oil at first I want to know why. Also, I'm about 65 miles away from the nearest Nissan dealer so if that's the route I'm supposed to take.. what oil would be similar to that?

Thanks a lot for your experience guys
