600 miles is a little early for the first change. I like DE5.0's change-in-ATL idea (and keeping a close eye on level). That will give you about 1500 miles, which is a good time for the first oil change. But it won't hurt if you wait until you get home - with modern engines and lubes, break-in is not the big deal it used to be.

good advice... just change it around 1500 - 2000 miles. I would probably use dino oil til about 5k in case you want to switch to synthetics. You should vary the speed during your long trip. It break-in better that way.
