I just crossed over the 3100 mark. I'm kinda torn between waiting for 5K (the whole "finish breaking in on dino oil" thing), versus just doing it at say 4K (so that will be 1800 on my factory oil then 2200 on the Nissan Ester I put in, then straight to synthetic). Knowing me, I'll probably go ahead and pull the trigger shortly after 4K. It can't be that big a difference anyways, and I think I've done a good job breaking it in so far all over the RPM range, including one rather loud and fun late night drive where I ramped up and down around 5-7K RPM on the freeway for long enough to get the oil up around 255. If anyone had been around (it was empty) they would've thought I was crazy
