Seek Advice - V6 Fluid Changes

[120rir]

I ordered my V-6 (Redfire, IUP, etc, etc.) just a couple of weeks ago so I'm well into the painful waiting period. However, might as well be prepared....I've seen a lot of conflicting advice on when to do the first fluid changes (oil, tranny fluid, etc.) and in particular what kind of oil, synthetic or otherwise, is best for the engine. I'm not much of a gear head so a general consensus would be appreciated. Thanks!
