I think the first question to be answered is, how long am I likely to keep this car?

If it were me, this is how I would approach it:

If I were pretty sure I would dispose of this car within the warranty period or shortly thereafter, I would simply follow the owners manual.

If this were a long term car (however you define it) I would do the following:

1-Change the oil and filter at 1000 miles.

2-The change the oil and filter at 10K, 20K etc.

Of course, you want to use M1 and quality oil filter, pref. a M1 filter.

Good luck!
