Tell me... when has it EVER been good to put so much strain on a brand new engine?

On a brand new Engine... you want to change the oil early... 300-600 miles on it depending how hard you drive it... then again about 1400 - 1600... again depending how hard you drive it.

To each his own.

Well said - seems to me your name is on the payment book!
8 quarts - wasn't expecting that one!

I'm getting mine changed next week. I'm up to about 900 miles now, and I've been driving my car real hard and its been on a dyno.

But when I took my 06 GTO in for an oil change with about 700 mile on it, the service manager thought I was crazy. Even even said, we'll change your oil if you like spending money, but you don't need to get it done yet. I told him to just go ahead and change the oil. He doesn't know how I drive.

It isnt going to kill you if you miss the first 300-600 oil change. Although any oil change is a good one, and decreasing your potential risk is always not a bad idea.

you can go about 1500mi without any significant difference, at least from what i've learned from this forum and other sources...
