First oil change?

Mileage?
Oil?

Dealer says synthetic, but isn't that non detergent?
Non detergent leaves dirt buildup inside block.

Thanks,
TF

Stay with synthetic!!!!!
The tolerances and clearances of the engine are specifically
designed for the weight and viscosity of synthetic oils....

Wow, a non detergent synthetic oil, what they won't come up with next. The
last scare was that it cleaned out the motor so much that the seals leaked.
My head hurts, I just can't keep up.

Dealer, manufacturer, owners manual, other owners, clubs, etc. all say
synthetic so why would you consider anything different. Mobil 1 (as it
comes from the factory) 5/30, every 5,000 miles IMHO. Don't listen to
the oil monitor system if you drive conservatively as it will take you
10 to 15K miles between changes because it measure rpms and oil temp as
its two primary inputs. Don't do the initial oil change any earlier
than 3K or you are simply wasting oil and not disposing of all the
particulate matter that gets shed during break in.

But what is in it at the factory?
The dealer says I should switch to synthetic, which means they didn't put it
in at the factory.
Why wouldn;t they?

===================
Honestly the Factory Engineers most likely Fudged the intraval they
recomend to meet the requirements of the marketing & legal types...

However I still belive in frequent oil changes... its only money and I
really enjoy tinkering with my cars... and changing oil is a labor of
love for me...

Easy to do...not expensive and it sure as hell beats "waxing"...
My "Toys" seldom see 1000 miles between oil changes..
Sure its overkill but the cars are after all my toys

The dealer never said such a thing. Chevrolet began putting Mobil 1 in the
LT1 in the 1992 model year and it has been in them every since that time.
Now Kmart or a quick change oil outlet may have told you that, but that
means you have to be capable of listening to someone and you can't. Look at
the oil fill cap, what does it say? Read your manual, what does it say?

Actually, I think what they said was that everyone switches from Mobil to Penzoil.
What btrand synthetic should I use?

Are they all non-detergent?
Non-detergent oil leaves the dirt in the block.

Guess they would be wrong. I put Mobil 1 in all the vehicles even the
van, cause I can't be bothered to buy "special" oil just for it.
