Oil change?
yeah yeah... this should be posted somewhere else or has been covered many times...
I just wanted to get feedback from the DC metro group. what's your stand on doing oil changes before the dealers' recommendation?

While I don't have the car yet, I long ago decided I'd do my first oil change at 7500 miles. I admit -- if I were leasing the car or otherwise knew I were only keeping the car 3 years or so, I might wait the full 15K.

I'd likely do it myself too around 7000 miles.

I had my 15K done last week at Passport. It may be just in my head but the car did seem to drive a little smoother afterwards.
I completely forgot to do the midway oil change and if I can turn back time, I would have done it around 5-7K. |
