First Oil Change

When should I get it done? Dealer says 3750, should I change it before I start romping on it after my 1200 mile break-in?

Keep your pants on, cars are like virgins. You have to pet them, and it takes a little time. You don't want to break her in, before she's ready. That 2550 miles will go by fast.
