Should I change my oil?

Vaughanabe13 · 09-01-2011, 09:11 AM

I'm debating on when to change the oil on my new purchase. It's an 09, bought at less than 5K miles (now at 6K) and unfortunately I don't have an oil change history so I'm flying blind at this point. Should I just go in now for a change and what should I put in? Hopefully this post is not thread-jacking but I didn't want to start a new thread.

I'm debating on whether to change it myself or take it in to the nissan dealer or a generic place like Midas.... Thoughts?

Changed EVERY fluid in my car when I bought it (besides PS, coolant, and brake). Better to start fresh and not wonder.
