Just a jack and stands. It's not ideal but I was able to do my exhaust and downpipes this way so figured oil wouldn't be too bad. I considered getting the Z1 undershroud at some point to make things even easier as well.
Dealer @ 2,000 miles. This way they could inspect the car too and see if there’s anything odd. They did a full inspection and gave me a report. No issues, all is like new they said.
I did my first one at about 2,500 after owning it. It was more or less just because I wanted to. I was itching to find a way to lift it with my quick-jacks but they are kind of a pain to set up so I wanted a reason to do it. I also just wanted the experience of doing it and didn't care that I only had 2,500 on it.
I have always been of the mind that milage is the more important measurement of when to change it. That said I personally would never go longer than a year and a half on any car. Too much temp change when it sits, even in a garage... I guess unless you have a fancy temp-controlled garage but if I had that kind of money I would be changing the oil all the time.
The reason many change their oil before the first recommended interval of 5,000 is because car has a break in period of 1,200 miles and new engines will most likely be burning off lubricants and potentially metal flakes. So the idea is to get all of that out of the system as soon as possible.
If you don't mind me asking how m
If you don't mind me asking did u use 5 5/8 qts of oil the book recommends? And if you did how did the level look on your dipstick?
