2nd oil change will be Royal purple XRP 5W20.

If you are going to drop that kind of money for oil, you can do better than RP. Not that RP is bad, but it has been shown many times to loose it's viscosity very early. Basically it is an oil for drag cars and such where the oil is changed less than 500 miles. It really isn't designed (IMO) for daily driving cars, I would only leave it in my car for about 4,500 miles (that when most people I've seen say it looses it's viscosity) and a decent dino oil can do. For around the same price you can pick up Red Line oil which is much better IMO. Just my .02
