First Oil Change

Hey guys, this was probably metioned somewhere, but I would like to ask when you guys got your first oil change. I currently have about 2800 miles on my ABP TL. I heard that the computer will tell me? Thanks.

The Display will notify you when it is time. Also, I was told, that you should wait at least 5000 miles for the first oil change. Supposedly, the initial oil has extra lubricants in it that helps break in the engine properly.

What % of oil life is your MID showing for your 2,800 miles of driving?

Any more Florida people out there? Lets keep this thing going, Floridians.
