First 5K service and oil change...

bhandy · 11-21-2015, 08:14 PM

Getting ready to take car in for its first oil change and nose diffuser install. The car is settling it seems and im actually getting about 370 miles to a tank when commuting going about 80 the whole time. And that's with sprintbooster in green mode. Car is getting smoother, even though it was always smooth. I love my car and can't wait to finally get the diffuser installed, that's been in the parts department for almost 3 months just waiting.

That's a lot of miles on the oil doing 80.
i hammer on mine a couple times a day; but mostly drive the speed limit & get 500 miles per tank...and i change my oil & filter every 2500mi.

I have the prepaid service and all the extended service and warranties. I was tempted to get it changed at Specialty Z in Chatsworth and get some stuff done but it's been prepaid and brand new.

I'm not going to endorse an oil manufacturer, because there are a lot of good ones out there & I know that just because the jug says full synthetic or 100% synthetic is very misleading.
Be cautious of what your dealership uses; most by bulk oil from whom ever they can get the best deal.
My 11' has 64k on it & only used Mobil one 5-30 & K&N or either napa platinum oil filter (long one, like on GTR's & Titan trucks) 2500 intervals & never a drop used or a rattle.
93 ethanol free only.
475-500mi every tank 26-28 mpg. Worst ever was 24.
0-105 13.1sec 0-158 29sec.
