When is the 1st service/Oil change?
 

Hello, when do we do the first service/oil change for our beloved Z? I already have 1K on the clock and thinking about taking her for a long drive, perhaps driving another 1K in the next few days. Thanks in advance.

3750 miles or 3 months. Some people do it sooner, all personal preference.

Dealer didn't provide you with a maintenance manual? Check your GLOVEBOX. :tiphat:

Many enthusiasts change oil within the first few hundred miles, speculating that if any metal bits flake off they can damage the engine. Others say that's a bunch of BS.

I've always liked the idea of putting a magnet on the oil filter and will be purchasing one for my upcoming Z in November.

Thanks Gents, very helpful, appreciated.

I'm at 2500 right now and have my Mobil 1, filter, and FilterMag. The magnetic drain plug hasn't come it yet though. I'm goin on a decent drive tomorrow and would like to change the oil first but it looks like I'm SOL. Guess I'll just grab a little conventional oil and make sure I'm topped off. I'll be changing my oil around the 3k+ mark from what I can tell now

Im going to be changing mine this next week. I will be hitting 3k, I will be using Amsoil this time around. Then Im taking it to the track!!
