Do it, get rid of the metal shavings. After that first one you will be safe for every 5k depending on how hard you drive

I wanted to do mine at 1,000 miles but I'm at about 1,300 right now and haven't had the time. I'd like to get full synthetic in it ASAP though.

"Shavings", if any, would be miniscule and would make no difference to the engine whether an oil change at 500 miles or 5000 miles. Any respectable engineering test results data to prove your point with this engine would be considered but I am not aware of any.

Did it.
I know many of you say its unnessasary but its better to be safe than sorry. I am one of those that changes the oil way more than nessasary throughout the life of the car. Its not expensive so why the hell not.

I do not have much respectable engineering test results to prove my point, but my eyes and fingers did. Someone also sent their oil bottle to a lab and they did detect a certain amount of iron that was in it, I cannot find it but its in here somewhere.

"... so why the hell not...":
Maybe it is because from what I learned as a kid from my grandparents and parents who survived The Great Depression by the former and the Wall Street Crash by the latter. Yeah, I could afford a Porsche, Ferrari or a 380Z but I don't NEED them. |

its fully synthetic... if they can give us 3 free ones after purchase im pretty sure it comes with it, and someone already did an oil test for metal composition after break and and confirmed it to be full synthetic via lab testing
