Maintenance Recommendation?
My car is a little over 6 months old with approx. 2960 miles. I would like to use synthetic motor oil when I get my first maintenance and continue to use synthetic oil.
1) When should I bring my car in for the first maintenance (3K miles/6 months or 5k miles/12 months)?
2) What's the ideal synthetic motor oil to use?
3) If I use synthetic oil what should the change intervals be?
FYI, I live in the SF Bay Area and the car is always garaged and rarely driven.

I'm the complete opposite of you. I drive a LOT...about 25,000 per year so I don't need to service my car until about every 6-7k miles. Here is my question..do most people here have the dealer service their car? I have a great indepandent shop I used for my old 99 gs 300 I was shocked to find their quote for my 15k service was 60.00 higher than the dealer quoted me. The dealer near me quoted me 385 for the 15k service.
