Oil & Filter Change at 1750 miles
 

I've tried to search threads on how soon is to soon to change O&F, but thought maybe some of you would care to weigh in on the subject. I'm just thinking of doing it over the holiday. I picked up some Mobile One 5-30 on sale at the store today. Have an OEM filter & drain plug gasket, thought what the heck can't hurt to change it now - right ?

Change it every 50 miles if you want

If that's all the mileage you have on it, then absolutely change the oil. I would change the oil as soon as the break-in period is over (1200 miles). After that, I change every 5K miles. Lots of people do less than 5K. Manual recommends 7500. I was about 2K into my last oil change when I had an impromptu track day at which I heated up the oil enough to compromise it (>260F) so I changed it a couple of days later.

I love that Wal-Mart has 5 qts Mobil 1 for $25 all the time. My oil changes are less than $40 :tup:

While your at it you can change mine to if you would like:tup:







Hey you never know unless you ask...

Better sooner than later. Go for it.

JARblue,
Glad to hear you like using Mobil 1.
I've heard some people say wait till 3000 miles to use Mobil 1 & others say use it when ever you want ? I thought why not use it at 1750, lots of cars use it right from the factory. Thanks Everyone for your thoughts - Bill Miller

Yeah, I don't see any problem with switching oils before 3000 miles. I actually had the dealer do the first two oil changes (1st @ 1500mi, 2nd @ 5000mi) mainly because I didn't yet have the tools to DIY but also because they were free. I had them put Mobil 1 5W-30 both times. One of the reasons I like Mobil 1 is the car was my wife's DD for the first year, so I wanted the option of being able to take it to almost any shop and get a decent quality oil. But now I really like it because I get it so cheap. I don't see any reason to use anything else at this point, and at that price you can pretty much change it whenever you want (50 mile OCI probably isn't necessary though :bowrofl:). I use Redline for pretty much everything else: MT, Diff, PS.
