Hey guys,

I have around 700 miles on my X now, and I was thinking about doing her first oil change today. Its not to early to do her first change is it? thanks

Don-

 

Wait another 1k miles.

 

I did mine around 900ish.

 

I did mine at 1k miles.

 

i did mine at 850 and it made a world of difference

 

is this something i missed on the manual or is it something you guys are just doing?

 

if his car has 700 miles on it he most likely just got it so it has been sitting on the lot for about 1 year. Everyone is different but on avg people change oil every 3000mi or 3 months which ever comes first. I changed mine at 1000

 

No, you did not miss a thing. Others just prefer replacing their oil early right after engine break in to get rid of mineral shavings.

I'd say hold off another 1k miles.

 

Ya I normally wait til 1,000 miles or so, but with the car sitting for so long through the season, and who knows how many people driving it.

 

I also broke it in hard too.

 

^ this. it had 980 on the odo when I changed it.

^ and this.

 

Its never too early. Go for it.

 

What oil weight are yall using? I live in Houston and I'm seeing upper 90's temperature and wondering if I need 5w-40?

 

I was planning on doing it this weekend, but it's the MOD event. Maybe Sunday. I currently have 850 miles.

 

Go for it! Nothing is wrong with putting fresh oil in her!
