First oil change done at 2,109 miles.
Car was so quiet at idle I freaked out for a second. Smoother accelerating, very noticeable to me. ^_^

I have heard through the years that there are engine wear filings that get into the factory oil and filter through the break-in process. I've also heard it was worse in the decades past, better tech. nowadays and more precision tooling has lessened the wear. I also know it's OK to change the factory fill out early for piece of mind |

Synthetic oil tames the engine noise as well . Can get synthetics for less than $4 a quart . A few are SHELL synthetic , Pennzoil Platinum , Pennzoil Ultra , and MOBIL 1 .
