My 3rd oil change at 10,000 miles with about 5,000 miles on the oil - Amsoil Signature 0W/20. I plan on changing it in 5,000 mile intervals to keep things simple.

Great thread. Very informative for those of us with new FR-Ss wondering about when to do our first change and with what oil.
For me, there seems to be solid evidence in these results that the factory fill is good stuff. There is also a strong pattern of owners being encouraged to go longer on their oil change intervals - like 7k- 10k. Unless I've missed something in this thread, or in other related threads, there doesn't seem to be any evidence of Blackstone telling owners that they should have gotten that initial fill out of their cars earlier due to poor oil performance. I appreciate the concern of owners who do early changes and I have been firmly in that camp with previous cars. But, newer oil technologies make me lean more towards the standard 7500 mile initial interval. Also, the OEM TGMO seems to get good press here. Plenty of great, objective info here. |

tbrocato - another UOA
Whats going on guys...just got back my latest UOA. I did not change my oil for over one year (not intentional) and the UOA came back good. I am also running K&N air filter.

Futher to my post above, Tony's experience is more empirical evidence that a good oil can hold up well in this engine. I will be on my initial factory fill for a while and am confident that when it's changed at 6 mos/6K miles it'll still have plenty of life left. |
