Folks,
I have had my Tucson Hybrid for about 2 months and 1200 miles. In the old days, we used change the oil on a new car around this time, is that a good idea with the Tucson? I was thinking about it for that reason and also because my car was build over a year ago, so there a chance that the oil is a year old.

Any thoughts?

I agree with you. I have 89 miles on my Hybrid and I plan on changing my own oil and filter at about 500 miles. I've read about owners finding metallic particles in the oil filter housing.

Are the Tucson Hybrids shipped with synthetic oil? A 1.6L Turbo should definitely have synthetic.
