Please do not use Royal purple, it has been proven to not protect over 3k intervals. It sludges and actually produces more wear on the engine. This is from a lab called BlackStone LAbs have tested oil. Stay with Mobil 1 or Amsoil and you will be fine.

 

7,500 miles, and going synthetic at that time is cool..

 

is it too early to switch to synthetic at 2800 miles

 

very Loaded question, I have been trying for two years to figure out which is the best synthetic, a quick summary chart can be found here:

Good luck picking one that meets your needs

I picked a oil company that promotes and tests for extended drain intervals.
