Most of this is included in the maintenance schedule of your owners manual. One thing I would keep an eye on is the oil change intervals... these are going to depend on your driving habits and conditions. The longest I would ever go on my Redline synthetic is about 4000 miles.

thank you.... and i know the maintenance schedule is listed on the owner's manual.....

but i would like to know what the owners are doing in reality...

for example: although the recommended interval for the first oil change is 3750, i do not think any of the forum members is waiting until that long...correct me if i am wrong... also, some of the members are already changing the transmission oil, break-oil bleeding, and etc.......

i am sure each of them has their own preference and reasoning - i cannot argue for the one or the other......... but i just want to be better informed....

i just would like to get a rough comparison between what is recommended vs what is "practiced" in reality....

I'm sure you can safely stretch that out. Redline is pleased with you though

Perhaps I could, but it just looks dirty at that mileage, so I just go ahead and change it. IMO it's better to stay ahead than to trail behind!

That is about what I would drive the Z yearly.

Well then you'd be more concerned about time intervals.
