First oil change and filter, right after cam break in ,(so when you get it home)
Next at 500 miles
Then at 1000 miles
Next at 2000 miles
Again at 3000 miles
Then every 3000 there after.

I personally would use the recommended amount of oil additive for the first 1000 miles at least, until the rings seat. After that you should be OK, but you could add 4 to 8 ounces with each oil change if you are concerned about lubrication.
