Dropped it off at a friends shop last night...

32K miles on it so it was over due for the 30K mile service, I had the oil changed several days ago (Royal Purple HPS with royal purple filter)... The air filters are in good shape still and even then, I intend on getting an intake in the next month or so.

I'm using Redline MT-85 in the transmission and Redline 75W90 for the rear diff and for the hell of it, I'm having him install the TWM short shifter (already had a TWM Abrams M1 shift knob)... Then probably have it detailed when I pick it up if he's done before 5.

Good looking car (the other pics, not that the oil pan isn't handsome)
But... just how often do you change your oil?? the filter's labeled 6/15 55k miles and am assuming 2500 until 60k warranty is ~2500 miles? unless you tracked it??(it caught my eye because I do the same thing, all our appliances are so labeled to keep track of purchase dates, ie do we repair the '06 dishwasher or just replace it)
mostly unrelated but when I just got mine I got a free "lifetime" power train warranty which really works for me as I tend to keep my toys so I'll still be posting here when you've all moved on to the390z.com

wheel spacers, exhaust and side splitters will be next.

coils by the end of the year.

spacers since I haven't decided which wheels to go with yet and I'm being extremely picky.

Thanks. I'm just trying to get the RE-050's worn down to where I can look at my wife while pointing at them and say "look, I need new RE-71's"

Yep; every 2500 miles. Averaged 26.1mpg since last oil change...it's been hot & been running the A/C more than the Lead-Foot

First oil change. Local dealer told me free for dino or pay difference on synthetic which was $30 so went for it. Apparently they used 0W20 instead of 5W30 though.

So you had to pay them extra to fuck up your oil change?? :icon14:

Blargh. Guess I gave these guys too much credit.

The invoice said they used 74804-02031 synthetic which looks like it's 5W30 but the little sticker on the window says 0W20:

Should I call 'em and ask WTF? Drain it? When these freebies are gone, I intend to buy the Redline kit from Z-1 and DIY but as long as they're free don't mind paying a nominal amount for the convenience of it, but yeesh.

Either way, I would just buy the Redline kit at next opportunity and go ahead and DIY. No rush, but I wouldn't bother waiting a full oil change cycle. $30 gone, no big deal. Dealers swindle way more from customers on a regular basis.

Today on the drive home, my clutch felt funky. Like softer but earlier engagement and not allowing me to put the car in gear. Turns out my clod hopper of a boot was catching on the edge of the carpet on the dead pedal. Phew :D
