Damn first oil change, what's your mileage at?
When I did my first one at 350km the oil came out pretty green
I just hit 1100 and probably gonna do my 2nd one this week

I'm at 6 month/5000km. I'm just doing it by the book

Finally took some decent shots of the 240z after her first wash.

^^nice.

Of all the garaged cars that hit the road in the summertime I enjoy the classic Japanese offerings the most :thumbsup:

I understand wanting to baby your brand new car, but excess oil changes can have negative consequences as well.

Realistically at the rate you are going you will have changed your oil 5 times before the first scheduled oil change. Pretty sure you didnt do much to help yourself.

Rear wiper delete time...!

Looks super sick though, love the colour.

^ I do my first oil change at 6,000KM's, then every 6-7k after that. I think the ones who change at 500km, 1000km, etc etc are doing more harm then good.

Wow all the pictures look even more fucked up now. Everyone feel free to chime in, in this thread:

I know I am not imagining this BS with the pictures over the past three weeks, but Skinny continues to just deny that there is a problem, while he keeps changing stuff behind the scenes in an attempt to fix the problem.

Pictures look like shit now. My iPhone 5 pics used to look acceptable, now they look like they were taken with a potato. A rotten potato, and DSLR pics look like iPhone pics...

I can understand wanting to do an extra oil change during break in (maybe at ~1000-2000km), but then after that Just develop a schedule and stick to it.

If the manufacturer states every 6000, then change it again at 6000 and then 12000 and so on and so forth.

The reason changing it one extra time during break in isn't a bad idea is because your oil does go through a lot more wear during the first little bit of an engines life. After that though, pick your poison; conventional or synthetic, set a schedule and stick to it.

Pictures have looked the same as always to me *shrug*

Well, since all the cool kids are doing it…

^
did u hit the turbo button on your way there :troll:

Oh I hit it going up and down the mountain:awwyeah:

^
what about the extra button :lawl:

I think the figure that's being passed around is ~70% of the breaking in is done within first 100 miles. I'm only changing it as it gets dirty/colour change, other Fiesta owners are seeing shiny metallic flakes in their drain pans at around 400-600 mile mark. Will probably do it every 4000-5000kms after my next one but I'm definitely not changing it every 1000kms, only doing it more frequently during break in. It's been ~900km since my last oil change so I'll probably check it out this weekend when the car is at 1500km or so.
Realistically the car would've had 2 oil changes by 5000km and 5-6 by 20,000kms not as dramatic as you're making it out to be.

Not sure when I should switch to synthetic though, I've been running semi-synthetic since that's what it comes with from factory. Lol someone on the FiestaST forum brought up a good point which is the engines not worth babying since they're $3200 USD brand new :P

I brought my own synthetic with me to the dealer yesterday and asked them to use it. We'll see tomorrow when i pick it up if they used it
