| Changing oil at 1st 500 miles...reminded me of what my dad told me to do and I have done ever since. He said that iron filings and other junk get down in the engine from the manufacturing process, and that the 1st oil change should be within a couple tanks of gas. I don't know if he's was right about this - he grew up in the 1940's and I guess things were different then.
When I tell people this, they look at me like I'm from another planet (especially my daughter who just bought her 1st new car).
I was pleased to see someone else doing the first O/F change at 500 miles!
