early oil change

thispecialk · 07-16-2009, 03:46 AM

well my question is it okay to change oil now. i only got 300 miles on it.

AK370Z · 07-16-2009, 03:57 AM

Nissan recommends 3750 Miles for first oil change. I did my first oil change at 2000 miles. After break in period is a good time to do oil change if you like early oil change.

I had an oiler cooler put on at 1100 miles at the Nissan dealer so I had them change the oil and put ester oil in it. It was probably still a little early as your making metal shavings from break in, but it's not like metal shavins stop, they just decrease. I'll probably change it around 3500 too.

He oil cooler was is Nissan brand? Is it covered by warranty

Phimosis · 07-16-2009, 04:52 AM

It's Setrab brand from Stillen. Stillen warranties the cooler. Nissan warranties the install. It was like $400 for the cooler, $400 for the install, including oil change, but they forgot to charge me for the new filter. Nissan Ester oil is almost $12 a quart.

i'd wait till break in to change it and just follow regular oil change routine.

shabarivas · 07-16-2009, 01:53 PM

I changed it a couple hundred miles shy of 2k miles like AK ...

tranceformer · 07-16-2009, 02:04 PM

I had mine done at 1100 miles.

mrarroyo · 07-16-2009, 04:49 PM

I have always changed the oil and filter in all my new cars at 1,000 miles. I will be doing so next week on my Z, chances are I will use Mobil 1 5-30 extended performance.
