Re: [ST] 500 mile service - doing it myself?



I wouldn't put full synthetic oil in so soon.  I read somewhere, but can't
remember where, that when breaking in an engine full synthetic oil shouldn't
be used until at least 1500 miles.  Some say after the first 3000 miles.  I
did mine after the first 2000 miles.  This is Just In Case things haven't
quite seated properly within the first 500 miles, they still have a chance
in the next 1000 or so.

Food for Thought.
