Guys I have 700 miles till oil change and I'll add the valvoline .
I was wanting to know would you change your oil now or wait till it closer to the 5,000 mark ??
I'm doing a 500 mile round trip this weekend FYI.........

I go 10k on oil changes. Anywhere from 5k-7.5k you will be ok.

Thanks doug I think I'll do it at 5000 and go from there , I don't know what the dealer used and I'd like to start out on valvoline ...

The parts store near me only sells the valvoline prem blue not the extream , this be ok to use or should I ask them to order the extream syn ?

I just love the valvoline. But I have really easy access to it. If I had Mobile One 5w-40 I would use it also.

I couldnt find the Valvoline Blue ANYWHERE around here, so I went with the Mobil 1 Synthetic. It idles and runs soo much better now.
