makes sense but until you do the swap, I would put minimal miles on it. Some say your chances of having catastrophic failure are minimal but is it really? It sounds like you don't have money to burn at momment, all the more reason to invest in addressing a highly controversial and known problem. Murphy's law.

p.s.
go to autogeek and order a gallon of FinishKare 425. This was a huge time saver when I owned a black car. This spray kept the car cleaner, longer. When you run your fingers over the teflony like finish you'll see what I mean. I'm not the least brand loyal but this particular product must have some propietary thing going, I've not felt that finish with any other product, and I have a whole garage full of over-priced crap.

p.s.
was the oil changed by the seller before it was sold? If not did you crack open and unroll the oil filter?
