Hello, when do we do the first service/oil change for our beloved Z? I already have 1K on the clock and thinking about taking her for a long drive, perhaps driving another 1K in the next few days. Thanks in advance.

3750 miles or 3 months. Some people do it sooner, all personal preference.

Dealer didn't provide you with a maintenance manual? Check your GLOVEBOX.

Many enthusiasts change oil within the first few hundred miles, speculating that if any metal bits flake off they can damage the engine. Others say that's a bunch of BS.

I've always liked the idea of putting a magnet on the oil filter and will be purchasing one for my upcoming Z in November.

I'm at 2500 right now and have my Mobil 1, filter, and FilterMag. The magnetic drain plug hasn't come it yet though. I'm goin on a decent drive tomorrow and would like to change the oil first but it looks like I'm SOL. Guess I'll just grab a little conventional oil and make sure I'm topped off. I'll be changing my oil around the 3k+ mark from what I can tell now
