Next friday my 350Z will be one year old and I will have put 5000 miles on it. I did a synthetic oil change in november and will do another one next week.

When I was working at Toyota we always advised our low mileage customers to change the oil once every 6 months. The only time I ever did an oil flush on a vehicle was if the customer went greater than 10K miles without an oil change. (LOL once a customer went 20K before their first oil change)

Lately I have been thinking about how the car just sits sometimes and was wondering if I should do an oil change every 4 months, or if I should get it flushed once a year. I know I am being crazy but what is everyone's opinion on this.

 

I follow the owners manual. I know. Call me old fashioned.

 

Oil flush? THats a new one.

WIth how many miles your doing. once every 6 months is as recent as Id do it.

 

a few times , when i switched oil brands, i would "flush" with new oil, ie drive a few hundred miles a do a change again.

 

Thanks for the comments guys. I'll just stick with the two times a year.
