Buying a brand new vehicle someday soon. I've heard that you should change
the oil in the first 50 miles and then follow their regular schedule.
Don't change it until the time and mileage recommended by the owner's
manual. Engines are cleaned much better at the factory than they used
to be, and you don't want to end up with a stuck piston ring that will
make the engine burn a quart of oil every 1000 miles forever.
