Hi,
That is pretty compulsive especially as the Engine is pretty well broken-in by the time you get it (not so the Tranny), so there's much less chance of getting the traditional metal shavings in the initial Oil supply. But, if it gives you peace of mind, well go for it.
But, after this, remember, that several long-term studies indicate that more Engine wear occurs on Brand New Oil than Oil which has
seasoned. As counter-intuitive as this sounds, Lab study of Oil samples finds that metal content peaks in the 1st 3k mi. and then tapers off to 10k mi. Your next change should be between 8500 and 10k mi. - this is the best thing for your new motor...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
