If you want to waste $50, go for it

Does anyone know when should the very first oil change should take place, per the service manual?

 

[rusw1]

I did mine as well. I wonder if the auto trans fluid should be changed as well? Anyone know of a "break in" fluid change for the automatic?

Look at your oil life monitor or less than 6000. I did mine at 20% life and it was a little over 5,000. Some people here like to change it at 500, 1000, or whatever for peace of mind. Personally, it is my opinion that you do not need to change it that soon, but if it makes you feel better and you don't mind spending the money, then go for it.

Where are you getting your oil changed for $50!!! Oil alone cost me more than $50!

 

[CatBurghlr]

Did mine at 1000.

 

[NX91Notch]

I am going against everyone else here. I will change mine at 3k.

The car has a warranty....should any problems arise from waiting until 3k to change the oil they would show up well before the car is out of warranty.

 

[Next Phase]

I plan on changing at 500 miles (after initial break in period). I'll probably go every 4k miles like I do with my Jeep SRT8.

 

[Paladin06]

600 here.

 

[digdug33071]

Just over 5000 miles and getting mine changed for the first this week.

They are sealed, do not ever change the fluid.

 

[SRT_HC_707]

They are sealed, do not ever change the fluid.

The HP90 is not sealed. It's a fully serviceable transmission with a fill plug, drain plug and filter.

 

[Lord Hellcat]

I reckon a 1000 to 1500 miles before I do mine.

It's a long way across the ocean. Make sure you drain all the water out when it gets there

I bought the oil for $50 on amazon. I do my own oil changes.
