Hey guys, I'm picking my new G on friday, just wanted to know whats the first things I should do when I pick it up since I got it used with 13k miles on it? Should I fully service it or just change the oil?

thanks!!

 

Light them up!!! Check the oil, if it's not fresh change it. Then after 2k switch to synthetic.

 

Be prepared for 1200 miles of frustration. 1200 miles of driving like a librarian on her way to church. 1200 miles of frustration...Then, after 1200 miles you can see if it really does rev to 7600rpm. (it does, quickly)

 

car's already broken in

 

Kewl, thx Yv12345vY. Was plannin on using Mobil 1 5w-30 synthetic; don't know how long the car has been sitting at the dealership, ill make sure to check the oil first thing.

 

Check all the fluids... if the G has all the service records and everything has been done… then no need to do anything

 

Clean it...


Full detail including some kind of sealant.... and some Zaino!

 

I love it when you can find low mile deals... I have a 2003 coupe and bought it with 18K on in 3 years old. I am still below that miles per year... I love it!

First thing you do.... ROAD TRIP!!!!!

 

The 1st thing you do is post pics of it...then follow all the other suggestions

 

LOL, going to clean it first and then post the pics

Can't wait !!!!!!! It arrived last night and going to get it this afternoon after my dealer here clears it and license it for me, all i have to do is pick up the keys and drive away

 

Congrats.

 

I just picked it up!!!!! OMG, it looks freakin amazing!! Ill take pics and put up later tomorrow.

 

Regardless of where you bought the G it's a good idea to switch to synthetic
oil and new filter (mobil 1 5W/30) check all fluid levels and tire pressure. Read
the manual, give your new ride a bath and do a complete detail. Now park it
in a secure place like your garage then drive the heck out of it.... the first chance you get!

Change your differential gear oil. I waited until about 28K and found a lot of metal shavings suspended in it. Someone else posted that they changed theirs within about 5K with the same results - so it's never too early.

Congrats on your new baby!

Why use synthetic? I just go to the shop and make them change mine so Idk what's in it. maybe I should ask....
