The manual will probably have something on this as well. I'd have to see the recommendation and go from there.

Having said that, on past vehicles I've done 2 break ins at 500 miles each, so the first is at 500 miles, and the 2nd is at 1000 miles. I then do another at 5,000 miles on the clock.

Once the break-ins are performed in that fashion, I go to a more standard OCI depending on what the car will be used for. Daily driver = long OCI of 5,000 to 10,000 OCI depending on what the analysis shows and a filter change every other oil change.

For toys (non daily driver), oil and filter change once a year since they don't get as many miles, and may not see 7,500 miles in a year's time.

This is all with standard NON SYNTHETIC DINO oil.
