Has anyone asked their dealer to do the first oil change at 5k instead of the recommended 10k? I have always understood that on a new engine doing an earlier change is a good idea as the newness and wear of the engine components will create more contamination initially. Just seem to be common sense to me to do the first one earlier but maybe I am missing something.
