Default First Oil Change?

Well, I have just over 1,500 miles on my car now.

So I am wondering what oil I should use for my first oil change? Should I switch to a synthetic (Mobile 1) this early in the cars life? Or what do you recomend?

Thank, Jason.

Cool, sounds good.

Guess I will switch to Mobile 1 at 2,000 Miles. Seems low, but not comapred to some people on this forum. I remember one guy did it at 1k? Not that it's a bad thing...

1k!
I changed mine at 500 miles. But I always change my new cars at 500 miles.

I got my first oil change at 3000 miles. The dealer service manager talked me into Castrol Synthetic. I normally use synthetic so the decision wasn't all that difficult.
