On my original Crossfire, I changed it at about 1,500 miles and I cut apart the old oil filter to see what was in it...

YIKES!!! ...there was a lot of metal in it! Lots and lots of little tiny pieces. Sure, that is what the oil filter is for, but I will always change the oil and filter in a new car in just a few hundred miles for now on based on my experience.

I would post my pic of it if the darn forum worked right...
