New 2013 370Z

Hey… Is there any real truth to the 1200 mile initial break-in period for the motor? I am letting the Stangs and Beemers get away with way too much following

Default 1200 mile - motor break-in period

Hey… Is there any real truth to the 1200 mile initial break-in period for the motor? I am letting the Stangs and Beemers get away with way too much following the owners manual warning (limiting the revs to 4k etc… etc...)

I'd go more than 1200 miles, and oil change at <500, and another at like 1500, using cheap oil for that one, then put whatever oil you want... And please god don't ask which oil we recommend, we all support everything

Default Synthetic vs. Organic Oil

I have always used synthetic Mobile 1 and equivalent. I assume everyone agrees it’s better than organic…

Again, I'll say Nissan Ester oil, next guy will say Redline is ester oil too, next guy will swear up and down by Motul because Nissan racing uses it...

If you're buying the car, baby it for a while, let it really break in, do the oil changes then beat on it... If you're leasing it... Beat it... Lol
