I really dont feel the break in procedure. I have noticed my Z with only 3,000 miles is a half quart low. I changed the oil at 1,500 miles so maybe I didnt put enough in. Ill double check next time it comes around. Anyways I have a 06 chevrolet truck with 110,000 miles on it. I bought it new and have always changed the oil every 4,000 miles, starting at 4,000 miles. The truck has never burnt a drop of oil and I use castrol 10w 30 standard not synthetic. Maybe I should use this in my Z too.
