congrats

the sales told me not to change oil until 7500 coz' the first set of oil is thinner for the engine to run better. but i suggest 4000 miles.

Our cars' "break-in oil" is nothing more than regular oil. I get my oil changed at 3750 mi. intervals, including the first oil change.

Question

I was under the distinct impression that the break in oil is not stock oil. It's an additive laden oil that "wets" the metal. ie like the stuff "as seen on TV". That's why the 7500 mile wait. I was told by more than one to ride it out to 7500 or 1 year which ever is first. Was I sold a bill?

Congrats on joining the TL family! Glad you're enjoying your new ride. I was told 3750 miles by my dealer for the first oil change (free, at that!)
