Default Does anybody wait till 5K for the 1st oil change?

I read some thread here and it seems that everybody changes oil at ~1K. I was planning to hold till 5K. Now it's about 2K (since March). Should I rush to the dealership to change oil? Does anybody else wait(ed) till 5K?

I waited till 5k. Lexus said that was enough. I was very shocked but I have had no problems whatsoever.

i wait till 5k. the engine hasant even broke in at 1 so whats the point...plus you shouldnt even be driving the car hard till 3... but the purple synthetic oil, it supposedly dyno'd to add 5 hp to your car...but its really expensive so i dont even know if its worth it.

I haven't heard of the 3k break in before....

I only have 400 miles on mine and I plan on having it done at 1k then every 2k miles, just personal opinion
