Any thoughts of when to change the oil the first time through? I figure since there is almost a quart of old gunk in there I may want to shoot for a shorter interval than I normally would consider with the synthetic. Or is contamination not an issue with the mobile 1?

I'd first drop the oil pan to see if there's any gunk in there. That, and the valve cover. Take a look and see if there's any gunk, before assuming there is. I've never found any gunk in any of my engines. Up to 305K on one.......none.
