How many miles do you put on your new mustang before you do the first oil change and go with Mobil 1? I have about 900 miles and I know I'm switching to 5W20 Mobil 1, but I'm thinking I should wait until 1500-2000 miles or so. What do you think?

I waited until 10,000 miles before I switched. That was more of a personnal preference than anything but I figured it should be broke in by then. I've got about 16,000 on her now.

Many cars, including all cadillacs and porsches, leave the factory with mobil 1 synthetic. In other words, just do it already!

You do not have to wait to use Mobil 1, since it is not 100% Full Synthetic and it has not been since Exxon Mobil Merger,
Mobil 1 is formulated to be used in ALL Car Engines made today, and is one of the BEST motor oils on the market.

Only True Fullly 100% Synthetics are:

VALVOLINE SYN POWER

KLOTZ
NULON
AMSOIL
ROYAL PURPLE
RED LINE
SYNLUBE

I changed to Amsoil with my first oil change at about 800 miles. Like ohnoesaz said earlier, many cars (Corvette for example) come filled with Mobil 1 from the factory. Change it!!

Actually, not true. Mobil 1's SuperSyn motor oils, which I believe he is referring to as that is the most widely available, is a full synthetic...

With that being said, he should still switch asap.
