When is the best time to get the first oil change?
 
Hello there,
My 2014 z is passing 3000miles right now amd I need some advise if I have to wait until 5000 miles.
Thank you:)

Wait until 7,500 miles. (Do you take a shower 3 times a day too?)

I did mine at 2450 miles. Check your oil level weekly.

IMO, you are beyond the "best time" for the first oil change. With every new car I have owned over the past 20 years, every one got the first oil change around 1,000 miles.

it all depends on the person... some people will tell you that you already waited too long others will tell you that you are supposed to change it now and others will say you can wait keep going and change it at 5000.

I follow service schedule 1 which is every 3750 miles.

This is what I have heard as well. There will be lots of contaminants in your oil because the engine was new. It is best to get those out of the engine ASAP and replace it with fresh oil. After the first change, it is safe to follow the interval in the manual. I won't make any recommendations on an increased interval because as stated before, everyone has a different opinion.

It really depends on you.

I change mine ever 3,000 miles. Probably because I drive'em like I stold'em

As a single voice amongst many, I recommend you go ahead and do an oil change next opportunity. Then proceed with your OCI of choice. I use 5K miles as my OCI for my DD.
