I'm used to changing oil at ~500 mi. In the '06 G35 Coupe 6MT, is there any reason not to do this (e.g. break in oil is in the engine)?

 

500 mi.? a bit too excessive?

 

just do it

 

Maybe needless, but my habits go back decades to building high HP Chevy motors and running them in on a water brake. That aside, I'd guess that the rate of particle buildup in the oil is the greatest, by a huge margin, in the first few hours.

I'm getting ready to install a Stillen blower and that's what's influencing me to change.

Mineral? Blend? Synthetic? So far, I've seen no signs of oil consumption.

 

how many miles you have on that engine?

 

500...count 'em, 500.

 

use dino till you finish the break in period. then you switch to synthetic.

 

dam... glad to see ur ok

 

I changed mine at just over 500. Can't be too careful I say. On the 06's it real easy to do if you have ramps. I think I read you need to pull off the whole defuser on some other years.

 

i swapped to synthetic at like 200miles.

 

change it, cant possibly hurt.

 

i changed mine at 600.. people will think it's retarded.. even the person i brought it to at first.. but after i explained it he thought about it and then thanked me for bringing it to his attention lol

 

99atlantic.. out of the blue but.. i was looking at your sig and i thought to myself.. wow that's really confusing when you read it outloud.. but theeeeeen i thought about it when i reread it and it wasn't that bad.. WOW that was random

 

okay....
