Irregardless I plan to do a 500 mile oil change. Then again at 1500 mi. I don't care if it's useless or not needed. I plan to keep this car for 10 years+. I'm going to baby the car during break in and attempt to treat her well to ensure the longevity of the powetrain.

Regarding the first oil change I'll be doing it around 500 ish miles also and once again after 1500 miles. And I will be getting rid of skip shift as soon as possible lol

can someone explain to me why you guys are changing the oil and/or oil filter so early at 500? is there a proven benefit to doing so, or is it just for the sake of caution? I'm new to all of this, and looking to learn as much as I can from you guys
