First oil change too late at 5k
 
I picked up my frs last month. Just got really busy with work and forgot to change the oil. I didn't rev higher than 3k during the break-in period.
But it's at 5.3k now. I'm going in for an oil change this weekend. Do you think i've damaged the engine?
:bonk:

doubt it. don't they tell you to come back at 5k? 300 over isn't gonna hurt anything.

No. You could go another 2k miles without issue. The first oil change scheduled used to be 7500 miles for 2013's. It has been reduced to 6k for 2015's even though nothing really changed in the engine. Really nothing to worry about at 5.3k.

Not a problem. The factory fill is very good oil. If you don't believe me, look through all the used oil analysis that people posted here:

This is my report with a 4.2k mile test (factory fill) and 5.7k mile test (first free oil change at dealership), you can see that Blackstone has no problem with the results, and even recommends running more miles because the TBN shows plenty of active additives left.

You're over thinking it. As long as there oil and its full it's ok for +100k. It's not recommended but it's better than nothing.

Throw the car away. It's a total loss.

Not a problem at all.

Not above 3k RPMs for 5k+ miles? Ugh. I think my car had a tune at 400 miles.

Seriously?

Guru Woodman 09-25-2015 09:46 AM

I'm not sure of this is seriously too... but Canadian cars have the first scheduled maintenance at 10000 km, which is 6200 miles...

Not revving past 3k lol

I can't think of a better way to make me hate driving my car than never revving over 3k.

Though I guess once you've finished break-in it's like getting a free 100whp upgrade, haha.
