Going to wait until the 15% mark. Then I'm going to be using synthetic. I've always used synthetic for all my cars, so I'm sticking with it.

mine is still 85% with 2300miles ... so i have a long way to go.

the reason why you need to wait at least 10k miles before you change it to synthetic is because you need to Let the piston rings seat properly before using synthetic, ~10K miles. |

Fa1 I have to call bullshit dude. Unless you are 100% highway I just don't see that. I'm 4600 and 20%, about to be 10 in another 100-200.
this depends on how you drive. if you drive like a lunatic then yea maybe at 4600 your at 20:% the car monitors on how you drive your car not by mileage. right now im at 2300miles at 85%. |

I'm still at 80% with 2800 miles. I will change once the maintenance minder says so. I was specifically told not to change too early with the first oil.
Changing with less than 1000 miles seems like more than just a waste of money... it can possibly harm your break in too. :popc: |

**** it, none of this makes ANY sense whatsoever. If you're at 80% at 2,000mi go ahead and do an oil change at 10k. Just doesn't seem ****ing right at all.

I intend to follow the manual, change at 15% maintenance minder, and then switch to a high grade synthetic oil. :) |

this is true. i usually wait at least 10 to 15 k before changing to synthetic. I guess its going to be on my 3rd change oil.

I might as well add that I have around 3,700 and I'm at 70% with 90% freeway. I usually drive conservatively but I do occasionally get close to 6k (I gota have some fun :vtec:) Anyways looks like I'll be doing my first change around 10k and I will be switching to synthetic. I'll get a pic tonight on my way home also. :)
|
that's absolutely insane. Oh well. I'm glad I'm not a freeway driver. City driving is 49837985x more fun lol

Touge > highway > city driving.
