Yeah i'm gonna call my buddy up after i get out of class. As for the schedule B though, isn't 7500 too long of a time frame inbetween changes?

 

No.

 

Personally, 7500 is incredibly too long in between oil changes (but of course there are those that disagree). I'd rather be safe than sorry.

 

Such as:

• Infiniti
• Nissan
• Acura
• Honda
• Lexus
• Toyota

My 335I is set up to have its oil changed every 15,000 Miles.

 

Not that I agree but:

7,500-mile oil change becoming new standard

As more vehicles come with synthetic motor oils from the factory, oil change interval recommendations have begun to increase. It looks like 7,500 miles is the new adapted standard. The synthetic oils experience less thermal breakdown and evaporative loss over time compared with conventional oil, which allows for less frequent oil services. Some vehicles have even forgone the traditional dipstick in favor of sensors that determine oil level and adjust the service interval in real time based on your driving habits. However, the decrease in oil changes also means a decrease in service business for dealerships. Dealers rightfully fear a reduction in customer retention and are unsure of the long run effect. Many have found solutions in prepaid maintenance contracts and complete service package deals such as combining tire rotation with your oil service. Also, despite their fears, dealerships won't completely lose out on regular customers as there will always be those reluctant to change their 5,000-mile oil change habit. Plus, there are many people who know the abuse they put their engine through, or don't trust electronic sensors and like to ride on the safe side with frequent oil changes.

 

personally i do oil and filter at 3750, syn at 10k, coolant, trans, diff fluids at least once a year but usually twice. Brake fluid gets changed a lot because i track my cars....

 

That schedule brings me back to my S2000 days...

 

My S2k, oil every 3k, syn at 10, everything else every 4 months. I have a cusco 2 way lsd so i like fresh fluid in that.

 

I was told to change my Oil every 7500 miles on my G35 and I always ended up doing it at 10k I will be sure to do it, every 3k on this car!

 

Are you saying

you would do Regular Oil every 3000 Miles and Synthetic every 10,000 Miles?

or are you saying you started your car with Synthetic at 10,000+ Miles and on

 

I change my oil every 3k and started using syn at 10k on

 

That was pretty much the enthusiast gospel with the S2000. Engine wasn't fully broken-in until 10K. After I switched to syn at 10K I still changed it every 3K.

Back then I spent all my time on S2KI. I miss that car.

 

I'm still on s2ki... what was your name on the board?

 

same as it is here.
