The guy's trying to help cut down on useless threads, man. Cut him some slack. BTW, he's right on the nose, and proved he's done his homework.

Default oil change question

Hi I parked my car for the winter end of November and did a fresh oil change with redline 5w30 and k&n filter. I just re insured it, is it ok if i drive around with this oil or do I have to change it again ?

It will be ok, but I would not let it go for very long. Oil that sits for a long time can degrade over time. At the end of the day, treat your Z right.......get the oil changed. Frequent Oil Changes is the one thing you can do to lengthen motor life.

You can never go wrong by changing your oil.

BTW, I too store my care for the winter. I change the oil before storage and change it again soon after I take it out of storage.

Ok I will drive it for a week then change it thanks.

btw 5k miles would normally be a good time to change the oil with redline correct ?

If you go 5k watch the dipstick....my car liked to drink any 5w-30 I put in it(still within nissan parameters on a new block), using 5w-40 rotella now, using very little in comparision.
