Anyone know when a good time to change oil is after break in, I figured at about 1k, and then regularly after that. Also what type and weight oil would you suggest. Any thoughts? Thanks

 

Check your owners manual. it tells you in there. I personally use mobil 1 also you may want to use an OEM oil filter or mobil 1 filters, even napa filters are good or i should say are constructed very well believe it or not. The fram filters are not made very well contrary to what some people believe. i am taking an automotive class and we learn about this stuff yesterday. Good luck.

 

I just did my first oil change at 1100 miles{quaker state and Nissan filter}. I plan on doing my next change at 3750 and then 6750 and then I plan on switching to amsiol sythetic and a amsoil filter at 8000 miles.

 

I changed my oil at 1900 and used 5w30 valvoline.Next time I might put in synthetic.I'm a mechanic and we use valvoline in alot of motors and after many miles the ones with valvoline look spotless inside.

 

I was wondering, what are the API ratings on the Valvoline that you use?

 

i heard it's good if you change oil in your first 1000 miles..but then again...nobody can tell u when to do the first oil change..i didn't do my first one until 3,500miles.
just do it whenever u feel like it..

 

It is API/SL It says on label it exceeds API services SL/SJ
