I am quite positive that CSC changes out the vegetable oil that these bikes ship with from China. You won't have to change it immediately but 200 miles is probably stretching it. I believe that most people (who DO have to change out the shipping oil which is done immediately) probably go 50 to 100 miles with their first oil change. I don't want to use conjecture, so I will let those who have bought a new Chinabike in a box recently give you their recommendations, but I am most certain that CSC has saved you the VERY first oil change as they state you can literally open the crate and ride it from day one. After that, let's see what people recommend...
