I just did my first oil change in my new z. Not too bad. I went to Royal Purple and I was reading in these threads, that after your first oil change you should change it again after 1000 miles. I think this is what I read. Maybe not. I dont understand why they say to change it only after 1000 miles. I am thinking it is to make sure that all of the original oil is removed. Is this true or did I read wrong??? Thanks guys for all of the info on oil changing. Made it harmless. I changed my engine oil after only 1500 original miles. I think I F-ed up and should have waited till a few thousand miles. Too late now.

P.S. And with all of the arguments on Gear and Tranny oil how will I ever decide which one is right for my car? Everyone says something different. ERRR

 

What up yall?

 

WHat's up~~~~~~~~~~

 

Her

 

WAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUPPP!!!!!!!!!

 

BUMP For no more What up!! HELP

 

LMAO, that sh*t is funny....

as far as liquids for your ride you need to match them with your driving style, if you drive hard then use heavier oils(royal purple of course) in the summer months(40w-50w) thicker oil will provide better protection under extreme driving and will not thin as bad as a lighter oil, of course you will sacrifice a lil mpg....... in the winter you could back down to a 30w, hard driving means more frequent oil changes, but since you love your car so much that is not an issue....the opposite applies if you drive like a granny, which i do not believe because you bought a Z...............personally, I use a straight grade in my car....40w in the summer, 30w in the winter......

 

Thanks. I went with 5-30 royal purp on the engine. Maybe shoulda went a little thicker. Not too hot outside, yet.

 

try it and see how it works, the great thing about oil, you can always change it.....

 

You don't say!

Peace!

 

no bs here

 

Bump

 

No you were correct to change your oil at 1,500 miles, because it's new.
I will be changing mine also as soon as I hit 1,500 miles.

 

Yeah but should I change it after 1000 more miles. That is what I read I think.

 

i thought once you go syn then you cant go back to regular?

 

Who said anything about going back to regular????

 

bumpb

 

Ill be changing my oil to RP in a few days before I drive to the east coast. In Cali esp southern I dont think you need to worry about changing weights since its pretty constant year round. I havent been.
