Re: tune up

check your manual! don't expect to be "notified" when you hit certain mileage. They don't know what mileage you're at!

Forgive me if that sounded a little rude, but didn't your salesperson tell you that the maintenance book was in that little leather container w/your fancy pen and all that?

Tune up? That's 98K miles away[img]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/img]

But yea it's probably a good idea to change your oil at around 2K miles the first time.

Re: tune up

ahh come on guys im not NYCKID i know what the manual says but i know others have changed oil at the first 2g's and as a matter of fact my *** of a dealer said he would call me periodically to inform me of tuneups and etc. anyway. i will probably go ahead and change the fluids, all of them, this weekend. later

Re: tune up

You can use the 3750/7500 schedule. No need to change early. Nissan puts regular oil in their cars for break-in. If you change now you probably don't want to put in synthetic yet. Wait a little longer.

Re: tune up

It may not be too early since you have over 2000 on it already. The consensus is that synthetic is actually too slippery for a new engine and does not allow it to break in properly so usually you wait the normal mileage before switching.

The maintenance option on the Nav is set by you. It starts counting after you push the reset and will let you know when it's been 3750 or 7500 since the last time you reset. Basically don't wait for your nav to tell you to get an oil change if you haven't checked your settings.

Well, no actually. What pen? ... and all what? The day I picked up my car, salesmen on the sidelines referred to Infiniti "gifts" but nothing has turned up. What did you get?

Re: tune up

You got a $45000 car for $35000, buy your own coffee mugs, lol.
I wouldn't put no coffee mug in my console, the way this bad *** car rips up the curves I'd be all day cleaning up spilled coffee
