2014 RX350 First Oil Change Interval

I am old fashioned! I did my first oil change at 1,500 miles and my second at 5,000 miles, then I followed the suggested maintenance schedule. My reason was to get rid of any oil fowling from the break in period which I believe will benefit the car in the long run. This is what I have always done with all of my new cars. I think its a small price to pay for a car I hope to have for a good period of time. I am also an advocate of using synthetic oil. If you have ever taken an engine apart after 100,000 miles you understand why I like synthetic oil.
I have seen both car and motorcycle motors torn down, some using regualr oil and other on nothing but synthetic. The difference is night and day. The synthetic motors looked spotless and almost new! No doubt it is the way to go!

I also replaced oil in my RX450h when it had 4,500 miles. I'm old-fashioned as well. Again, to my surprise, oil came out all clear, with dark amber color.
Of course, I did not have any chemical analysis performed. This is just my visual observation.
