Well, I really doubt that it will be necessary to change the AMSOIL gear lube after 500 miles, but if that makes you happy, go ahead. Using the Series 2000?
As far as the Mobil 1 goes, do you have a special formulation there? Far as I know, they don't make (or at least market in the US) a 15W-30.
I'd go with 0W-30, 5W-30 or 10W-30. If you use a good flush (AMSOIL or BG are excellent), there is no need to change the oil after 1000 miles.
If you don't flush, then just change the oil filter after 1000-1500 miles, and maybe dump the first batch after 3,000 or so. After that, 5000 mile drain is conservative. I run AMSOIL 0W-30, change filter at 5K, oil and filter at 10K (and I'm still throwing away good oil<g>)
