I did the first change at 1050; now the 2nd at 4200...finally got rid of the YZZA2 filter that the service dept uses. I drive mostly on highway but the oil looked very dark after 3000 miles with that "crappy" filter :twisted:

New factory filter on the left

 

aren't they supposed to change the filter after every oil change? :? forgive my ignorance, my last car was my first car and it was used so i dunno if this is some "new car" way of doing things

 

To make a long story short...please read my previous post

There is no need for the first oil change to be before 3000/4000 miles. Even the Car Talk guys say that future oil changes do not need to be done until every 5000 miles. My suggestion is 3-4000 if you drive mostly in town and 4-5000 if you drive mostly highway.
