hi, i have a 2010 xB, I know theres some debate over the first oil change but wanted the groups opinion on when they have changed there oil and filter for the first time. I have only about 220 miles but can see tiny particles of metal in the oil already from the "break in" .

Thanx

 

If u see some metal it should be fine but there is no real break in period from what i have heard, some dealers offer a free oil change at 1,000 miles if u bought your car from them, but i would go by the owners manual and change it every 5k.

 

and get a magnet plug

 

I did a change at 500mi, but you would probably be alright without one. If anything, just change the filter at 500-1000mi or so.

 

Go 5k without concern. Many vehicles (some Hondas) have been rumored to come with a oil just for breakin and they recommend not changing early.

Let it go and be happy.

 

just got my first free oil change done from scion, 4800 miles. damn maint. light kept bothering me.

 

Thats what I did, got my first free one at 4750. 9750 is gonna be done by me with Amsoil :D
