First oil change question

[Finbarqs]

If I get an oil change before my first 1000 miles, is that okay? I’m about 700 miles, and I’m planning on taking it to the track Sunday, but I want to get the oil change out of the way. I fully plan on hitting 1K when I arrive at the track or prior…

My uneducated opinion is that you are good to go. Most of the initial engine wear happens pretty quickly. The full 1k break in my guess is for the entire drivetrain. I would probably do short higher rpm runs before the oil change for engine wear purposes. Technically you are ok to do this just not for sustained periods. In other words if you are going to redline it at the track I would want to do that before the oil change anyways. Just my opinion.
