Thank you for you knowledge. Are you saying that you don't think it's necessary to switch to a semi-synthetic after the first 750 miles? I was planning on running the factory supplied oil that came in the car for about 3000 miles and then make a direct change over to Amsoil, I'm guessinng, 5W30. I live in Orlando where it doesn't break 95 degrees.

Pretty much.

Knowing what I know now - I'd probably go the route you just mentioned, and feel good about it. The semi-synthetic was an unnecessary step.
Make sure you stay on top of your car's consumption rate during the first 3,000 miles - don't let it get low! Some cars consume a lot in the first few thousand miles. Check with your warranty to make sure your intentions and/or actions won't cause you pain down the road.
Amsoil 5W30 will work great for you.
