2nd Oil Change?
I did my first oil change at 800 miles. Now I have 2800 mi. Should I just wait another couple thousand miles for the second oil change? What did you guys do? The oil isn’t that dirty either. I use Mobil 1

Change it when the oil minder gets to 15%, or you're at 5000 miles, or it's been a year. Any one of those parameters will work.

The first oil change is important. It gets the assembly oil out and any initial debris. After that you are fine to go with normal oil changes but it doesn't hurt to change it earlier for a piece of mind.

I changed at 500 miles and going to change another one soon at 1500 miles. After that im keeping at 3k~4k miles.

do your second one at about 5k should be fine unless you are tracking it.
