500 mile oil change
 
Have an oil charged scheduled for Friday but I think I will only have 350-400 miles. If I wait till Monday I may have more than 500. Is this a big deal either way?

Now that was helpful response.....jeez ^^^^^^^^

OP, you should be fine, ~500 miles, you are in the ballpark.

I just bought mine about a month ago with roughly 2500 miles. They did the first oil change when they got the car @2500miles. There's no record of any maintenance done to this car besides that. I think you're fine, don't worry about it.

Take someone out to dinner tonight and you'll have the requisite 500 miles on the odo by Friday.

I did my first oil change around 1500 miles and the second around 4500 miles. I am coming up on 9000 miles but will probably do my third around 10000 miles.

I did my past & present Gen 6 change at 950 miles

Not real important, but the sooner the better.
Flush out any contaminates from manufacture and initial break-in.

I wanted to do mine at 500 but it ended up at 980 because the car is so fun to drive the miles added up fast.

I scheduled mine at the dealership to use up the free oil change before it expired. It ended up at like 625 miles. It was torture, I hated the dealership touching it. Should have just done it myself.

Anywhere from 5 to 15 is fine, your rear differentials first dump and fill at 1500 is more important in my opinion

I did mine at 350 miles.
