Also, am I doing the right thing by getting my first oil change at approx. 2000 KM (approx. 1250 Miles)? Some are saying not to change the "break-in oil" (original oil the car came with) so fast because Toyota puts additives in it to help with the break-in process. On the other hand, some say to change at 500 and 1000 Miles to cleanse the oil of metal particles and inpurities of the break-in process. WHO'S RIGHT? WHAT SHOULD I DO?

I am taking in my SE V6 in the next week for it's first oil change and it has about 5700KMs on it. I will be putting in synthetic. The dealer said that I could wait for another oil change but with winter coming, it would be best to go now versus this spring.
I also own an Infiniti G35 and I did the same thing, changed to synthetic after about 6000KMs.
Have a great day;
