First Oil Change?

LiL Sang · 06-23-2006, 12:14 AM

i was just wondering when i should change my oil+filter cause i still have the break-in oil and was thinkin about putting synthetic oil when i hit 1500 miles but some ppl say to do it on ur 3rd oil change so im confused. i still hear the ticking sound from my motor where the oil is going thru the pistons i believe and i dont want to change the oil to fast when its still breaking-in.

let it break in for 5k miles. when you're at 15 k miles i think it's safe to run fully syntec dont switch soon because ur car will have an improper breakin. syntec oil is very smooth and doesn't create enough resistance for a proper shaping of the rings and walls.
