Thinking about doing it on the first change. Any good reasons why not?
When did you switch over to synthetic oil?

For 2012 the filters are cartridge, so they are not NEARLY as sensitive to build quality, but still, I'd run OEM, WIX, or Purolator.

Some of their filters are made by WIX (65.. and 75mm) while most are made by Purolator. The open ones may also be made by Champion (another good one). Either way, the WIX ones sold at Filter1 are a fantastic deal. I picked up around 21. Why pay the dealer $8 when they probably get it for $2.50?

Or you can back up your rant with actual data, rather than a rant. You may want to read all my posts in this thread.

I said to run "standard" oil not factory supplied oil.
There are no additives in the factory supplied oil, it is just a good idea to run regular oil for a few thousand miles to allow the rings to seat, etc...
I've been told (correct me if I'm wrong) that synthetics have too low of a COF to allow this to happen. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of synthetics, but I think you should wait for a few oil changes before using the "good stuff" ...

This comes out of the manual:
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high quality energy conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions under which vehicle operations will occur. For the recommended viscosity and quality grades refer to "Maintenance Procedures" in "Maintaining Your Vehicle". NON-DETERGENT OR STRAIGHT MINERAL OIL MUST NEVER BE USED
So I have always been taught that the oil from the factory should be left in until the first oil change because it is intended for engine break-in. Basically it is special.
Anyone else go by this philosophy?
All my cars I have done this too and they all have never had problems and exceeded expected MPG.
