oil change after break in?
so i just reached the 1000 mile break in period today and i was wondering if i should change the oil already? toyota did not change my oil when i bought it in last week for the first month inspection. and they scheduled me to go in sometime in june for service. and i believe they dont change your oil for you until the scheduled appointment or 7500 miles. so should the oil be changed? or would i be good till scheduled service date?

If it's dirty, change it.
But no, there should be no need to change your oil at only 1000 miles. |

Bottom line if you change at 7,500 you won't have any problems, changing earlier is a precaution some take for peace of mind. If you're not abusing the hell out of it regular intervals will be more than adequate.
