I bought my car in December. I’ve just rolled over 6200 miles. I am taking a road trip in two weeks that will put 1500 miles on the car, so I’ll hit my first oil change before I get to the destination. Do I change it early or change it at the destination Either 1000 miles early or 500 miles late
Id change it early vs later so the engines getting max protection under higher stress conditions ,
but with modern synthetic oils its unlikely to be an issue either way,
where it might make a difference is its going to allow you to flush out any crud in the sump ,
that might have accumulated during the assembly or manufacturing process,
and that has since come loose circulating in that older oil.
Also changing it early the dealer can't refuse a warranty claim because you didn't perform the required service "as recommended"
