When should i do an oil change?
 
Hey guys my FR-S just hit 3500 miles and im thinking about doing an oil change however, someone told me i can wait a while longer until i do my oil change. Any thoughts?

I just hit 3k on mine and am trying to decide myself, i want to change as soon as i can decide on which oil i'm going to use. I will stick with the oem filter for now.

subaru SM, Toyota SN and Eneos Sustina are my top pics for oil in 0w-20 in that order

new filter at 500 miles, subaru
1500 miles oil and filter,subaru oil
3750,subaru oil
7000 eneos sustina + liqui moly MOS2 1/2 bottle using HAMP toyo roki green filters...(yes I know I'm anal about oil, but my stable requires it)

and every 4000 miles there after till I get another blackstone UOA done to justify pushing 5000 to 7000 per change

I will be using the above oils and likely dosing full bottle MOS2 for track time, and if its really hot(over 100F racing) I will mix in 30% german made castrol 0w-30


ymmv

I did my first oil change after 1500km

The manual states the first oil change at 7.5k miles. Personally I'm doing my 1st oil change at 3.5k miles and going with Mobil 1.

Im at 3040 but i have a full HPDE event this weekend. I wanted to change it but the local dealer doesnt have oil filters and its too late to order online.

Hopefully the car doesnt mind :(

gosh, i'll be doing mine every 3k. i don't care what the manuals say etc, 3k is the limit for the way we all drive these vehicles.

I was thinking about the Eneos myself, I have Penzoil Platinum 0w20 here that i get really cheap i may go with that and just change it more often.
