STI lip on the way as well
 
Washed, waxed the front end, cleaned interior n shined it up. Will finish waxing the rest tomorrow, that wax takes time I've never used wax like this before the kit has 3 steps. Came out shiny tho
 
Some do it at 1k to quickly get rid of the metal flakes during the break in period.

There's old school, change after 100 miles, or 1000, etc., which is a good policy, but Honda and a few others have been putting in their mix of oil to help with the running in on a new engine, this is the new school, to wait, also 5000 mile changes are new as well, which has changed due to the newer oils, and the better the engine parts that are now being made and assembled.

The short story is the filter will probably take care of the engine in either case, so no worries which ever way you've done it.
Good filters are the key.... ask Google for a "car oil filter review"...... I like mobile-1, or Honda filter....... but read some reviews.
There are as many different opinions as there are filters.
 
ya im at 3800 and i was gonna do a first oil change in like 2 weeks before i get my tune done, should be closer to 4500 by then
