After 500 miles. Personally I would wait til the 1st oil change @ 3,000 miles before beating on the car. Shift under 5,000rpm for normal driving w/ smooth shifts. No reason for slamming gears, thats bad for the tranny.

Now is the perfect time with low miles to switch over to full synthetic earl(oil)
