i believe you want to wait until the 1st scheduled oil change to ...do an oil change. ( i think the owners maual recomends 3000 miles) i know that sounds stupid but they use a special kind of oil from the factory that helps the motor break in. if you change it to synthetic too soon the rings will not seat properly and you will have major oil consumption issues down the road.
