synthetic oil after how many miles?
I remember reading somewhere on this forum that the first oil should be with regular oil, but starting with the second you should switch to full synthetic? is this accurate? is 5,000 miles time to switch to synthetic?

Yeah, regular oil during the break in. Then synthetic if you want after that. You'll get opinions all over the spectrum on how often to change your oil. I use the rule of thunb that there is no such thing as *too* often.
Reg = 3,000
Synth = 4,000 to 5,000.
Reg = 3,000
Synth = 4,000 to 5,000.

i changed after 15k. i read it's typical to switch to synthetic at 10k. i've gone 3k miles on synthetic and the oil was still good. i'm goin 5k on this interval per blackstone's recommendations.
