First Oil Change
I am new to the boards as well as a new MDX owner.
I am reading the owners manual and notice that the first recommended oil change is at 7500 miles.
A friend of mine who is an engineer in the automotive industry (steering systems) tells me I should do the first oil change between 1000 and 1200 miles. He says the reason for this is that when a new engine begins, small metal shavings are released into the oil stream and only after changing the oil and filter do I rid the system of these particles.
This makes good sense to me, but I am not sure if it is necessary. I plan on using Mobil One, as it has helped my previous vehicles work very well and I see no reason to change.
Thanks for your thoughts on this.
