and what is the milege that i should change the first engine oil and other stuffs?

im so new to this one

NewlyIMPORTed · 03-22-2010, 11:27 AM

dont rev above 4000 rpm until around 1200 miles and dont keep it at a constant rpm change first oil at like 500 miles welcome!

Congrats, i recommend to get the clear bra ASAP. I got my home last Sat, and it's snow outside, car got dirty and i got it wash today, really some of the paint already damaged....I will get my clear bra put on this coming weekend.

thanx eveyone

i dont mind all the rock chips cuz i bought a plan that pixes all the damages and the dings, again, rock chips coverage done at the dealershop. they say its unlimited visit number and i think 5 years of limited time period. well, i think that is enough

Love the 40th Editions man, great find! Post some pics up when you get a chance! I see you're also based in VA, you should hit us up over in the Mid-A Section, we have weekly 370Z meets in NoVa: NOVA: Zs & Coffee - Starbucks every Saturday @ 10AM, so if you're free on Saturdays you should drop by!

Welcome to the forum!

Congrats! And when do we get pictures?!

I went in looking at the 40th anny version, and even test drove it first. But I fell for the Nismo. The rimms on the 40th really make it stand out, tho.

Manual says 1200 miles below 4k rpms. oil change @ 500 as mentioned (i did mine at 600). There are some great debates in other threads in the forums. Some say the engines are redlined during the factory test drive, so no break-in is needed. Others say follow the manual, still others are in the middle. There's evidence that points all ways.

Take your time learning to drive her. Respect her. She'll return the favor.

Congratulation and welcome! As Jon at Altered said previously, stop on over with the new Z on Saturday morning in Fairfax for coffee and meet up. We are all headed over to the Dogfish Head Ale House for burgers and beers at lunch time after.

Strangler · 03-23-2010, 11:00 PM

Gratz on your new car!

Did the manual say change oil at 500 miles? That seems so early. A full synthetic oil change would be around $60 or so.

Zaggeron · 03-23-2010, 11:06 PM

I think the earliest the manual says is under schedule A -- 3750 or something. A lot of people do early oil changes though. I'll probably do my first at the end of this month with about 1200 -- fresh oil for the post break-in period
