I am picking up my new 2000 E430 this Friday. I know one should drive it nicely during the breakin period and that the next scheduled maintenance is at 10,000 miles.

My question is, when is the best time to switch to a synthetic oil? 10,000 miles or around 2000 miles which corresponds to the end of the breakin period?

Thanks in advance.
