Paul,
I should think that this is the best time to change. Of course, as with any
new engine, you need to abide by all the break-in precautions and make the
first change very early. You want to be sure to select the weight that best
suits your driving climate and style.
There have been a number of threads on the subject of oil in the past
months. Last may I held an unscientific survey just to tally what others
were using. Below are the results from those who responded:
7 for Castrol 20/50
2 for Valvoline 20/50
1 for Red Line 20/50
1 for 20/50 (no brand specified)
And a very interesting treatise on ZDDP, thank you Jonathan.
Best regards,

weight?
