When? Plenty opinions there too. But I'd probably wait atleast until after break-in.

I didn't see anything in the owner's manual that says we can use standard oil. It just calls out 5W-30 with an SM API. Am I missing something? I only have 300 miles but wasn't planning to run synthetic in the car.
