hi all...
ok so i just got my g couple month ago...
i did not ask the dealer for maintenance record. and there were no oil change marks on the top left of the windshield..
does g35 have a warning light for or recommended lights on dash board that will tell us when we need oil change?
how often do you guys change your oil?


thanx for reply.

 

no such warning lights... I would just go ahead and change it, just to be safe

 

+1. You can have no problems with changing it early. Only when late.

Also when you buy a used car always assume none of the fluids have been changed.

 

+1 always change fluids when buying a used car that sets a bench mark on were you stand for future reference

 

How often you change it all depends on how you drive, what type of oil you use and how **** you are about those types of things. For every member of the forum there's a different opinion. I use full synthetic and go about 5k between changes.

 

warning light? What you need that for? Change it every 5000 miles if youre running synthetic.

If youre unsure, change it now.

Not directing this towards you, OP but people today(especially Americans) are so dumb and lazy. Automatic lights, automatic parallel parking, automatic blindspot detection, what happened to being aware of your surroundings and your car when youre in it/performing maintenance on it?

 

Isnt there a maintenance reminder feature on the navi equipped G's?

 

yeah, but you have to manually reset it and you can change the intervals, maybe even turn it off... so basically, the OP cant rely on it having been set the last time the oil was changed

 

+2 on that one. Always smart to just change the oil when you buy it. I changed oil/filter when I bought the G...the oil was lookn pretty low n old

 

Better safe than sorry
Change oil and filter
