clutch? u wont need to replace it for along time.. just practice not reving so high when you start in 1st other then that the guys that do drag launches all the time are putting way more stress on their clutch then u lol

just:
1. change motor, tranny, and diff oil at 1k miles (i'd do it sooner tho)
2. change motor, tranny, and diff oil to syn at 5k (around there)
3. keep up with your basic maintenance and it'll last next to forever =)
4. keep her clean

when you first get ur car all the parts in it are new and will wear down.. you'll have alot of crap floating around in ur oil.. which in simple: ur crap will hit more crap causing unecessary crap to happen.. so change your oil at 1k but do not use syn.. i suggest u use ur free oil change at 1k and tell them to do the tranny and diff too.. then use syn at around 5k

LMAO . . . I agree with the crap stuff. Better to be safe than to be sorry. Regardless of whether or not the engine is under warranty. It can't hurt.

also to the guys saying oil change blahblah:

Mobil 1 Oil From Walmart = $20
Oil Filter From Nissan = $5

You need: 1 Jack, 2 Saftey Jacks, 10mm, 14mm socket, oil filter clamp

most of u guys already have sockets.. n stuff.. i just did an oil change.. took 20min and some paper towels.. its not hard.. u spent +$36,000.00 on a car and pay $600 a month for gas.. whats $25 and 20min?

they'll put in regular. u're supposed to use regular until a certain mileage before you switch to synthetic. my dealership told me to wait till 30k mi. to switch my tranny oil to synthetic.

Just don't ride right up on the car in front of you. Try to pick a speed where you have constant motion, rather than stop and go.

You spend $600 a month on gas? Glad I live 10 min away from work.

Like somebody said, keep a little distance in traffic, and easy on the gas, you can just roll slowly, barely moving, without constantly riding the clutch.
