OK, so my interpretation of this is:
- We should follow the break-in process (no cruise control; no exceeding 4k RPM; etc.) for 3k miles, not the 1k miles stated in the owner's manual.
- We should perform the first oil change at 3k miles, not at the 7500 miles stated in the owner's manual.
- When changing the oil at 3k miles, at that point we can begin using the recommended synthetic oil.
Does that sound about right?
