what are you guys's thought on changing the oil after the 1000 mile breakin period? my service guy says its not needed as does the manual; i have never done this before in my other rocket ships; any thoughts ? its hecka fast i must say

 

The only thing I did was change the Diff Fluid at like 1800 like it said..The car shouldn't get it's first oil change till around 9-10k.

 

is that fluid change on the cars with the amg power package?

 

its a new car follow what the dealer tells you to do, most new cars dont require you to change the oil at the first 500 or 1000 miles like before maybe due to advancement in oil technology?

 

If you have part of the P30, performance package..and have the upgraded LSD..you need to change the fluid at the dealer around 1800miles. The first oil change on the car is 10k.

 

I changed mine at @ 2K just for peace of mind.

 

Well the car itself though..around every 2500 miles will be asking a quart..it does burn oil pretty fast..

 

what type of a oil does it use? why does it burn so much oil?

 

Mobil 1 Syn 0W-40. As for why it burns, I dunno...but it does concern me. We'll see if it stops after the engine's broken in a bit more.

 

How much is the LSD fluid change? How much is an oil change for this car? I usually like to work on my own cars, but if it only requires an oil change every 10k...

 

i talked to my dealer and said it will burn oil;he also told me he would top it off whenever its low until my 10k service; i have a 2009 model; havent notice any need for oil but it only has 380 miles
