First oil change?

[Wingdog]

There is nothing wrong with changing your engine oil early. After the first 500 miles all the cast pieces and bits of metal in the motor will have gotten loose and found there way to your filter and oil and the motor should be well on it's way to breaking in. So changing your engine oil early with rid you of those harmfull metal pieces floatin' around. Then get back to regular oil change intervals. It is the same idea with a new motor as a rebuilt one.

First, Congrats on the new truck, and welcome to SDD! You don't NEED to change your oil at 500 miles, but it is YOUR truck. I changed mine at 1000 miles, then again at 3000 miles. I continue to change at 3000 miles, but I tow a lot!

+1, except I tow a lot.

Yea, get the Fumoto valve, that's good stuff right there, fantastic piece of hardware.

Good luck.
