Not the typical new car oil change inquiry...
This past weekend i acquired a 2017 Sonata Sport 2.4 (traded in Corolla). The car was a demo with 3800 miles of use by the dealership. I've never been a change early guy but not knowing the level of care during those early miles, I'm seriously considering it. If i do, it will be Valvoline Conventional 5w20 for another 3000 miles only because the normal oci recommended in the OM is 7500 miles. This will put me right at that mark, at which point the maintenance plan will be employed.
Would you change early considering the 'demo' miles?
