1St Oil Change Due....

[Viet Nam Vette]

Going in Thursday for the 3's first oil change. It'll just have 3000 miles since 12/26/06 when I roll in for the change. What really surprises me is that the motor has not even burned any oil..!!!

I have been checking the oil level at every gas fill up since new. It hasn't moved off of the Cross Hatch area. It's right up at the full mark. Unbelievable.....

I have never driven a Vehicle 3000 miles and not put at least 2 or 3 qts of oil in. This is all new to me. Even my new in the day 1986 Vette never went 2000 miles with out at least one qt of oil. And the GMPP ZZ502 BB in my 65 Vette which only has 2500 miles will eat a qt by then.

I picked up a brand new WIX Oil Filter also sold thru napa under there part number "NAPA 1522". Wix was one of the best in that thread about oil filters. Also picked up some Mobile 1 5W-30. So I'm all set.

Going to my local Gas Station for the Oil Change. I'll also get to look under and check out the 3's frame and suspension and drive line close up. The Mechanics that work there know there stuff and 1 of them is a Wheel-er and Knows Off Road Rigs. So I'm feeling good about standing next to them while they work on my rig.
