It was suggested to me to change the oil in the car after the break-in mileage was completed. Well, i have now put 501 miles on the car. Should I change the oil or wait for the 3k interval I normally use?

Every new car that I have had has had an oil/filter change around the first 6-7 hundred miles...it's cheap insurance. Expect the original oil filter to give you a little bit of trouble, be sure to have a pair of oil filter grip pliers on hand, you may need it. I've heard that there is a small panel (with about 6 bolts...5.5mm) to remove in order to access the drain plug and oil filter.
Let us know how it goes.

It won't hurt to leave it.

But I did my first oil change at 2k.

Bottom line, if it gives you peace of mind....change it!

I'm going to do an oil change around 800-1000 miles.

Usually the first oil change can be done for free at your dealership if you bring them a copy of the satisfaction survey sent to you by Ford.

I would do the first change at 1K and then every 3K miles thereafter. If your oil looks dirty/dark before 1K, then change it. Of course, use quality oil and a good filter.

PS . I saw a 2010 Grabber Blue GT with white over the top (wide) stripes and it looked awesome. It also had the upgrade interior with the blue stripe, again looked great.

Galpin Ford has one at their dealership in LA just like that

My 'GT came from Galpin I didn't buy from them, but another dealer traded for it.

I really want white vinyl stripes, I think I may stop by to check it out.

here is what it looks like

I hate those wheels

Any chance you could PM me those pics at full resolution? I was 100% certain I'd put white stripes on my car, now that I have it I'm somewhat hesitant.

I wonder if those are Shelby width....
