You are likely going to get a wide range of opinions on this topic. How often is best, what oils to use, etc., etc.

Also, Mr. Alchemy -- stay on top of that oil level -- it is one of those "ounce of prevention" type deals.
What amuses me about this, onzedge, is the stark contrast between enthusiasts and dealerships. I took my Z to the dealer at the 10K mark, and all they said was that it's "good to go" as no maintenance was required (I changed the oil a few weeks prior). They're the same dealership that told me this car did not have a break-in period. What a bunch of idiots.
