I would go by what the manual says, at least on the first change. Be sure and check the oil and don't let it get low. May talk to the service dept. and see what they say but I would guess they have it there for a reason. What do they say on oil changes after the break-in period? My Ford truck says 7500 between changes but I change at 3000-4000. I don't worry if I go over a little bit. I think we probly change at 3000 becouse our Dad did or Oil change places say we should. It's one of those things that don't hurt to do more often, but we probly waste more money than we should by not following the directions in the manual. (My opinion only) Consumer Reports magazine did a huge test on motor oil about 8-10 years ago. They took apart taxi motors in New York and took readings, put them back together and ran them with different oils for diferent miles and took them down again. Was little or no different in wear between any of the major oils and they said 6000 mile changes worked as well as 3000.
