First Oil Change what Oil should I use?

Minsu · 09-04-2013, 07:21 PM

So im in need of an oil change and i need to drain the old stock oil out.
What brand and model number do you specifically use?
Also how much would i need to fill it up?
Also how long do i have to baby it before the synthetic oil sets in?
Also I currently use turtle wax zip and wax to wash my car and im assuming that its fine.

But mainly for the oil please help a brutha.

Can never go wrong with Mobil 1 synthetic. 5-6 quartz will do.

No oil thread? So I can't suggest AMSOIL?

The rest you can find in your owner's manual.

yah, AK was tired of seeing so many oil threads and started banning them.

amsoil is good stuff too.

I waited until 6k miles to swap to synthetic, but that's probably overkill. Any good quality full synthetic of the appropriate weight is fine to use. The capacity is in the manual, which it seems like you haven't read. Read it.

And Turtle Wax is garbage. Go into the detailing forum and do some reading there.
