Hi Guys,
New to Nissan, New to Armada, and new to this forum....Here is a link to my intro which has updated pics throughout the thread

My questions are:
1. I received my vehicle after purchase with 24 miles on it. How should I drive the Armada to break in the engine? So far I have driven in town, very gently...with spurts of flooring it in order to avoid bad traffic. I have never taken it past 3200 rpm or so. I have taken one long distance travel today...it was under 100 miles distance. The vehicle has 386 miles as of today. I purchased the vehicle on 9-11-2013 and received it on the 14th from another state.
2. I want to complete a black out job on it...and so far only find 2012 model headlights and taillights available. Will these fit the 2013?
3. Should I change the oil. I heard that on a new car the oil should be changed at 200 miles to remove the new engine crud (small metal flakes). Is this recommended for our vehicles?
4. Any other performance gains (without voiding warranty) besides CAI that I should know about?
Thank you in advance for your help!
