How many miles should u really wait until first oil change guys 3000 or 5000?? Need input please... I have 2010 mr

 

I bought my X new as well.. this is wat I did, kept RPM below 5K at 1,000 I changed the oil and again at 3K and then from every 3K on.

hope this helps.

 

I kept RPM below 5k as well but I always kept the RPM needle moving. I also changed oil @ 1,000 and started mashing it after.

 

i bought mine in august which is also a new 2010 MR and changed the oil at 3K. came out just fine but i was worried it might be slightly chunky since it was sitting for a year. it wasn't but its probably a good idea to change it at 1K and again at 3K & every 3K from there on.

 

Regular scheduled maintenance calls for an oil chance at 5k miles interval with synthetic; I always did mine at 3k miles.

 

5k miles. Factory-fill oil has a high moly count to assist with break-in.

 

That's what I did (mile): 525 -> 1234 -> thinking about 2500 since I need a tune soon lol

 

Newb question but whats the high moly count mean?

 

"High moly count" means that they add more molybdenum to the oil.

 

I changed my oil at 1000 miles the first time. Then about every 2500 miles after that.

 

Im not sure about this, it says mobile 1 factory fill. I called mitsu about it when I first got there car. its just reg mobile 1, no additives or anything just plain M1.

 

I wouldnt do 5K miles, the new 2010s they suggest 3K miles oil change. 5K just seems to long especially on how we drive our cars.

 

hahaha i would do 2k with all those additives on your vehicle! Unless you're not a "spirited" driver? :P

 

Did my first right at 1k, 2nd at 3k and just did the 3rd at 5500. I use the 5W-30 M1 EP and get the OEM filters from the local Mitsu dealer.

Yes I know, it's probably excessive but it's become habit, I've changed the oil on all my cars every 2500-3k with Mobil 1 sythetic. I beat the snot out of my WRX for 90k and it ran just as good on the day I sold it as it did the day I bought it. I like to think going with high quality oil and changing it often helped.

 

I did mine at about 3,700 cause thats when the service light came on
