i just got my first oil/filter change...

Go with the warranty info. The manual gives a breakdown of the required maint. schedule. Sticking to the warranty recommendations will certainly not hurt you should anything go wrong.

As to the previous post on synthetics here is Mobil1's FAQ. I'm sure the lawyers wouldn't let them post this if they could get sued.

Myth
You should break in your engine with conventional oil, then switch to Mobil 1.

Reality
You can start using Mobil 1 with SuperSyn in new vehicles at any time, even in brand-new vehicles. In fact, Mobil 1 with SuperSyn is original equipment (it is installed at the factory) in:


Chevrolet Corvette
All Porsche vehicles
Mercedes-Benz AMG vehicles
Dodge Viper
Ford Mustang Cobra R
All Aston Martin cars

One of the myths that persists about Mobil 1 is that new engines require a break-in period with conventional oil. Current engine manufacturing technology does not require this break-in period. As indicated by the decisions of the engineers who design these high-performance cars, Mobil 1 with SuperSyn can be used in an engine from the day you drive the car off the showroom floor.
