^^^
Most modern car engines are broken in at the factory, before assembly. Therefore the old tradition of breaking in a new car doesn't apply anymore. Just drive as you normally would drive and treat the car the way you would treat anything else of value.
I changed my oil at 5K last weekend. My oil meter was at 40%. I mostly went ahead and changed it to get that crap cheap oil the dealerships put in its cars and I put Mobil 1 full synthetic and new filter because I will be going on a road trip next weekend and will be putting close to 1k miles on the fit.
I always run full synthetic in all my cars oil filter every other time. Usually 5K-7K on synthetic oil changes also.
btw yes I notice a considerable difference in the smoothness and efficiency of the engine after putting synthetic in it but thats another discussion for later.
