Ok now I have my new xD, once I reach the 1,000 mile break in do I get an oil change or do I drive till the normal oil change mileage based on the driving conditions I drive?

 

No need for the 1000 mile oil change anymore. The tolerances on engines are so tight these days that the wear on the oil during the "break in" isn't as bad. Just stick to the 5k intervals and you'll be fine =]

 

I changed mine at 2,500 and put synthetic in.

i change mine to synthetic at 1000 miles but you dont need to change the oil till 5000 its up to you

 

I appreciate the responses thanks!

And ya metal shavings and such is old school 1940s - 1960s American car stuff.

 

GreyFox...if you change your own oil for the first time, take the plastic ends off the filter cartridge and bend the filter ribs "open" and take a look in between them. 'nuff said.

 

I change it every 3000 miles. You should wait til your 3rd oil change to switch to synthetic to allow the regular oil to build up helpful seals inside the engine. And metal shavings are still present in the motor, theres even a thread with some pictures of the metal bits found after the first oil change.

 

I stand corrected!

Appreciate the posts!
