    In my opinion, engine oil is the one thing you cant change too early...First oil change was at 5k and the oil was dark. When I change it at 3k, its still a nice caramel color. And since its on the dealers dime for the first 25k, why not :)

    FYI Oil Color is very depended on quality of fuel you used between the changes and your filter quality.
