Oil change post run in period

Post by ecav » Tue Feb 12, 2013 1:53 am

I know it is not needed but was wondering if there is any benefit to changing the oil post the break in period. Are people doing that or is it really just an expense with no benefit given the synthetic, long life oil that is being used in the rs? As am finally getting to the 1,200 mile mark a starting to think about the day after!
