Screw all the hype, i still change mine every 5k miles or 4 track days . My car is also a bit different, do to track abuse. On a pure DD , i would do 7500 miles and change the filter halfway.

Been running Amsoil since 37k miles.

Taywan, (Also for Terramask)

I am going to be putting my FI kit on soon so there will be a break-in oil change as well. I am OCD about things so after the intial break-in oil change I will probably change the oil too much just to be safe and for peace of mind if nothing else, maybe every 2,000-3,000 miles. At the very most 5,000. I know they say the Amsoil is rated to 25,000, I would never run it that long.

Edit: I will also change the oil a lot to get up-to-date blackstone reports just to observe the condition of the motor and bearing wear. It should also be said, I don't drive the car a lot. These 2,000 miles with the Mobile 1 lasted me about 9 months. For me oil changing is more of bonding time with the car and pampering it.

Today.. changed the oil and gave her a very much needed wash. It's nice here in NC about 65 degrees and sunny. So ready for spring.

A 18 year old girl side swiped the left side. The front bumper, fender and door are damaged. I am looking for a good body shop in the League City, Pearland, Friendswood (TX) or surrounding areas. Does anyone have a good recommendation?

I usually wash my car 1 - 3x/week, but the last time was in January due to travel & a hectic schedule so washed & waxed it. My car was so happy but called me an a$$h0l3 for taking so long, so I gave it a grounding kit (not sure if I could tell a difference), buffed & polished the headlights (like the 4th time in a year - gets cloudy too quick!), and put in a K&N air filter.

Nismo-I am on XL going 5-6k intervals. I sure wouldn't go past even 10k on the signature series.

Yes, sir; indeed that is him. You know what my car looks like so look me up if & when you come out. If you don't see me, ask Mike about me, too. And before we get flamed, I'll PM you in a moment to take this thread off of here ;-)

RedLine_ZR - Sure, I'll post pix. Quite honestly, I tried to hide the cabling as best I could, but you can see a little blue here & there. I'll try to get those pix tomorrow when it's light out.
