Had the dealer change it at around 700 miles, they did it for free when I brought a survey back to them.

Bought the oil (mobil 1) @ walmart for $42 and paid my stepbro's work to change it for $8. I wanted documentation and had it done at around 2500 miles.

Always.
 Regardless of what the manufacturer, dealer, etc., say, I guess I'm "old school", and change it at 1K, and switch to Mobil 1.  I've done this for years with no problems/issues.

Changed my oil at 2000 which is the earliest Royal Purple recommends on a new motor.

I had the oil changed and the rear differential fluid changed at about 1k.
Do the rear diff. fluid too. It was full of metal shaving and was very dirty. |
