And with the fluids that come from the factory these days, they are designed to go longer.
So yeah, I'm waiting til 7.5k. Hardest part will be handing the keys over to the dealer because I've NEVER let anyone else change my oil - ever. I want to be like, "can you just give me the oil and filter and I'll do it myself at home??" Ha!!

I hear that! I guess I am old school and did #1 change myself at 2K to get the initial break in crap out as indicated by oil analysis by other ppls. Since my BRZ came from out of state I get no free dealer oil changes. Last FREE dealer OC on my wife's VW CC they over torqued the drain plug ruining the threads on the plug. Fortunately the pan was OK. I like FREE but, it's DIY for me every 5K and needless to say, I'm done with that dealer.

Welcome! Yeah. Lot's of opportunities and meets in our community for sure. Not too long ago we did a photo shoot at the Quarry and had 19 86 cars show up. We may have to break that record in the next month or two and do another shoot!

Road rash and rock attacks to our unique urban assault vehicles are inevitable, unfortunately. I already have some small windshield chips and a rock nailed me on the roof a couple of months ago. Get some xpel on that front bumper as soon as you can afford it! It's a warzone out there!!!
