early oil change

Cjanik · 07-26-2009, 11:58 AM

Here's my plans when I get my car:

Drive 50 miles - do oil change w/ nissan ester + oil filter
drive 500 miles, oil change w/ nissan ester + oil filter
drive to 2,000 miles - do oil change to full syn w/ esters + oil filter

A lot of people give me crap for my thought process on oil changes on brand new cars, but im ok with that. I have inspected my oil after 50 miles of driving (new motors), and this is the outcome inside of 50 miles:

there's so much metal crud in there, imagine how blocked the oil filter must be, and imagine those metal peices flying around your engine for 2,000 miles!

Looks like your brain and you are thinking about your exahust system... well that's what I get from the pic at least...

I don't see any oil either.

Heh, not sure if your both being sarcastic or not about not seeing the oil. You see the exhaust reflection on the oil that was just drained, the drain pan is still under the vehicle. The "brain" is the crud inside the oil.
