Ok I Recently Bought a 03 Left Over 000000 Miles from the Dealer on March 9, I only have 1023 Miles on my baby.

A couple of my Friends here in Puerto Rico Drives S2000 and they told me "DO NOT CHANGE THE STOCK OIL UNTILL 5k Miles or so, They told me It has a Special Additve for the Break IN and the New ENgine"

and i was like WTF? Does the oil in my S need to Be CHanged Now that is 3 Months Old, Or my friends are RIGHT and i NEED to Wait?

Thanks guys........

Owners manual is very clear about not changing it before 3750 miles. What you want to do from there is your decision.
