Read this entire thread today - really amazing info in here for everyone - I have to guess that this might be the most used DIY on the forum so far - +1 Rep for AK.
My car only has 800 miles on it right now but based on all this reading I'm thinking I should start making arrangements for a first oil change around 1200 miles and then cutover to synthetic around the 3000 mile point.
All of the questions about the copper washer were amusing - Datsun/Nissan has been using those FOREVER - its been replaced on my 280Z so many times I've lost count.
I shouldn't have any problems with putting the car up on 4 jack stands right? Would it make more sense to raise the rear of the car up slightly further than the front?
Also, I didn't see any discussion in here about changing your oil based on time instead of miles - I don't put many miles on my car - should I think about changing the oil based on dates instead of miles or is that just plain stupid?
Thanks again AK for all this work!
EDIT: Might find this
link helpful for those who don't have a dealer nearby that stock the copper washers.
