I just broke 1000 miles today on the way to work. Only 200 more and I am out of the break-in period.
I am thinking about dumping my oil this weekend and putting a new filter on. I think this is a good idea because when breaking in the engine doesn't that leave some metal shavings floating around?
I then think I will do it again at the 3500 mark to start my normal changes.
1)I am looking for opinions, should I change it this weekend?
2)It's ok to switch to synthetic now correct?
3)What brand of oil filter do you like to use? (Please no flames of others just your brand and maybe why)
4)Also I have only changed my oil once in my life, and that was the last change I did on my jeep. I assume the X has zirk fittings that need to be greased with oil changes do you know how many there are?
5)Any thing else I should do while changing the oil besides checking all other fluids?
TIA for the help.
