Default Oil Change Question.

I've had the car since May 17th. As of today I have 4,026 miles. I wanted to get the oil change done at 3750 but have not had the time. If i get the oil changed at 4500 will there be significant damage to the car?

No damage at all. I changed mine around 4000 miles too. Some people adhered to the 7500 mile for the initial 'break-in' oil to do it's job.

Do a search on 'oil change' and you'll have more opinions than you know what to do with.

as long as you dont take the car offroad, one year and 7500 miles would be the limit that you would not want to exceed!
you do want to leave the break-in oil in there awhile... 4500 miles should be fine IMO.
