    First oil change

    Hello All,

    Dealership did first oil change on the 12th. Had just shy of 5000 miles.
    Wanted to do it around 3000, but could not get into the dealership because of my work schedule.
    No more 3 second rattle at startup. Service oil filter must have decent anti-drainback valve. Will see if it performs the same as the miles go by. Plan to change every 5000
    First three oil changes are free. Dealership uses a 0W-20 not full synthetic.
    Rotated tires. 8/32 tread depth(I believe) Wear is even. I run 35-36 psi.
    Been doing work commute with cargo rack and kayak cradles on. Averaging around 42 mpg.
    Will be taking rack and cradles off in a couple of weeks for winter.
    Love this car.
    Hope to complete rustproofing with fluid film and install factory foglights in the next few weeks.
