Default First Oil Change??

Wondering when you all did your 1st change. Im at like 2200 miles now, and curious if I should do the standard 3,000 miles, or if its something different.

Couldnt find anything in the owners manual...

Thanks!

I'm ****

Chances are the oil changes are for the next owner down the road but it's "cheap insurance". I changed my oil and oil filter at 522 miles and then at 3,669 miles with Castrol GTX. I then switched to AMSOIL Series 2000 0W-30 (synthetic) at 6,500 miles.

I did mine at 1,200 miles. Just after break in. then I did it again at 3000 miles. I will do it every 3000 miles from here on.

I'd do it soon and DIY, if possible. I did mine at 2,700 b/c I got a little lazy, but the manual indicates 3,500 as the first recommended oil change.
