He is new!! And maybe not to familiar were to post his question?
How quickly we forget how we started here! :shakes head:

dejavu

all over again

its another parallel dimension.

Please explain to me why the factory nissan maintenance schedule calls for the first oil change at 3750 miles and no-specific breakin method, but you think he needs to change the oil at 1500 miles (which, if undocumented, will actually void his warranty)

Nissan (or any carmaker) wouldnt take the risk of selling a sports car that would suffer irreparable damage from being driven hard right off the lot. If not taking it easy for 1500 miles and changing the oil only halfway to the first one on the maintenance schedule actually caused severe damage to the engine, Nissan would be out hundreds of thousands (if not more) in warranty engine replacements.

Can an admin please merge this into this thread?

The manual does list a break in schedule on page 5-22.

During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km),
follow these recommendations to obtain
maximum engine performance and
ensure the future reliability and economy
of your new vehicle.
Failure to follow these recommendations
may result in shortened engine
life and reduced engine performance.
. Avoid driving for long periods at constant
speed, either fast or slow. Do not run the
engine over 4,000 rpm.
. Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
. Avoid quick starts.
. Avoid hard braking as much as possible.

Well I never noticed that, but that kindve negates those who drive long distances to pick up their cars.

Heck, my car was 45 minutes away on another lot and they had to bring it to me.

It also still doesnt say the oil needs to be changed before schedule.
