[QUOTE=bradz;161391]Is it advisable to change the oil at around 1,000 miles or we need to follow the 3,750 interval? Any insight?[
I offloaded the so called Break-in-Oil
at 1,000 miles and stuffed the engine full of Royal Purple 5W30. This will get replaced ever 3,000 miles religiously.
Regardless of any other comments and primarily for my own personal satisfaction ( none fact based ) and for the basic rule that lubricant breaks down the moment it becomes functional.......this has been my routine, and the engine truly appreciates the care.
My only proof of this relentless process is my 12 year old pick-up truck which has 354,000 miles, 3,000 mile oil changes continue today and it runs fantastic ( it is still my daily driver ).
I Doubt I will personally ever see this Z car ever get to 50,000 miles but I enjoy the process.
