CONGRATS!! Let the washings begin.
There is alot of info on this board. And i am no gear head but on your first oil change..You will probably get alot of different information and bias's.
I truly believe that just follow the manufacturers suggestions. You can go every 5,000 if you want..As long as your not driving down country roads!!
I believe the 3,000 mi oil change is and always will be hype..but thats just my opinion. (probably spurring some replies with that one.)
But if you just keep it regular you'll be fine. Keep them tires rotated!! and Congrats..

The Cobra R water pump is a lot lighter, and more efficient than the stock pump. As for the electric fan, removing the stock fan results in 15 lb's less rotating mass from the engine (I believe?)... and the electric fan just runs off electricity rather than the engine. It give a 10hp or so gain I think? Dunno. Im sure someone will tell you about the gains.
