When to do first oil change?

[Kenway]

Hey guys, I'm only about 500 miles into my new 25 equinox, since this is a turbo engine, when I go to do my first oil change, what mileage should I be at? And should I immediately go with full synthetic oil or continue to use regular oil for the first 10k miles or so?

I'd go ~3K miles IMO. 99% of 0w20 motor oils will be synthetic. I've heard there is a synthetic blend 0w20 available. Just stick with a name brand dexos rated 0w20 (or what ever your 2025 calls for) and you'll be fine. I would not exceed 5K miles between oil changes from then on.

Thanks! Will plan to get it at about 3k
