quicks Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 Hi all, Have just ordered a Gun metal 06, hopefully should arrive in a few weeks.!! I understand there is a run in period of about 1200 miles, below about 4000rpm I guess? Just wondered if you recommended changing the oil then? Or do most people just wait until the 9000 mile service. Cheers Quote
Guest prescience Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 You can NEVER change your oil too often; its one of the best mods you can do. Having said that most people do wait until 9000 for a first change and don't experience any ill effects. You will do well to choose the oil you change to at 9k wisely though Quote
Liam's Z Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 It's a good idea to change the oil after a few thousand miles imo. New engine at the end of the day with new moving parts. Saying that, it's all under warranty ... P.s don't worry about the smell of the engine, mine stank early on Quote
speedball Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 What oil would you recommend to put in it, would like to change mine Quote

Removed Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 I went syntethic a bit later on (18k miles) but it does seem to make quite a difference tbh Quote
quicks Posted May 2, 2006 Author Posted May 2, 2006 Cheer guys Stealer mumbled something about £140 for an oil change, then £300 or so for the P1 (first service?), had a quick search through a few posts on here before I ordered the Z, and I thought £120 or so for the P1 upto £300 for the more expensive one, P3 I think it was? Get the impression he's taking me for a ride here...? Quote
hagar Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 sure was! 140 quid to change te oil? DIY! also I was a bit upset to pay 230 for my P2 service which is way more than the P1 shoudl be! Quote
Guest prescience Posted May 2, 2006 Posted May 2, 2006 ..... would [you] like to change mine Actually, I've given this some thought - £140 seems the going rate, so I'll take this one on for u for that Quote
Derek_ZR Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 £92 supplying my own oil at same place as Gus had hid P2 done. Cheapest service I have had in ages Quote
