Default First Oil Change Milage

Hi,
I'm wondering how many miles were on your Z before you did the FIRST Oil Change........any reference to it in the manual. I'm thinking about 1500 miles is probably a good time to do the first one............thoughts?

Does the regular warranty cover the engine and transmission oil changes?

If you are asking if the warranty covers the fluids and when they get old you get free new fluids then, no. You have to pay for that like gasoline.
