RE: 2008 Malibu 2.4 L first oil change??
There is a lot of debris in all engines,left over from the casting and machining processes. Whenever I buy a new car I give it a nice long run of, say two hundred miles and then change the oil and filter. I,ve never had a problem.
With that said, I also have a ten year old Caddy that was owned by a man who drove them and traded them. It had twenty thousand on it before I gave it it's first oil and filter change. It doesnt burn oil and I have had no problems 167k miles.
