Edit: Just to be 100% clear, I'm not saying wait until 5000 miles to do your first oil change. Do your first oil change at 1500 miles, and replace the drain plug with a magnetic one if you can. For that first oil change, refill it with Nissan Ester Oil. Then at 5000 miles, do your second oil change and switch over to synthetic, preferably one that is ester-based as ester bonds to the metal, which is what enhances lubricity at start-up.
