Dang, sorry to see, chris. :eekdance: GL with the repairs.

waizzz thats the Xpel ultimate. :tup:

What mileage did you do your first oil change at? Is 5,000 the norm or should I do it right after the break-in process and then every 5,000 thereafter?

I did this except I do 4000 mile changes after the first.

To the first of many!

:eek: I'm very sorry to hear man. But glad that it wasn't at higher speeds and that you seem ok (i.e. more worried about the car than yourself :icon17:). Hope you get everything worked out both :tiphat:

For normal driving, the manual recommends 7500 miles. Most people on the forum do it sooner. The thinking behind doing one right after break-in is that the oil will have higher concentrations of metals due to the break-in process, and rather than let those metals circulate with your oil for nearly a full oil change interval, best to empty that stuff out, put in fresh oil, and begin your normal oci. I try to do it every 5K miles, but if I put a few extra miles on it before I find the time to do the oil change it's not a big deal.

I did mine at 1,048 miles and will continue on a 3,000 mile interval going forward.

You are incorrect. There are two types of service intervals. Schedule A: if you are doing a lot of in town driving like stop signs and traffic lights or sitting in heavy traffic it is 3750. Schedule B: If your driving consists of streamlined driving where you are not sitting for long periods of time you can opt to service option B at 7000 intervals.

Im surprised no one read this in their owners manual, there is a lot of good info in there.

Yeah still under warranty but doubt Nissan will cover anything but im going to try.

Wow! :I agree:

Ive had the car over two years and did my very first carwash. Honestly I liked doing it. Wifey and I decided to do it together with her altima. $10 for washing both...not bad. :-D

Oh.....and I highly recommend the eagle1 interior cleaner.....that stuff is awesome!

on my way to a of all things corvette cars and coffee meet this morning, I got pinned in my lane and hit a dead animal. the deceased managed to break half of himself off under my car and get pinned between a cross member and my exhaust. He began to cook, and cook he did, the smell? unbearable!!!! anywho i got home pulled out the power washer but it was (leg im guessing) lodged in there. i had to get a metal rake out and pry it out, while taking in the smell....... ooooohhh the horror.
