So I took the plunge and decided to trade in the 2002 Camaro Z28 and get something a bit more practical for my needs. With the new job and baby, all my driving consists of are quick short trips around town. I would say about 80% city/20% hwy. I have been bouncing the idea around with getting a little gas sipping sub-compact for a while now. Test drove the Yaris, Fiesta, Mazda 2, and finally the Versa. For me this car just fit the bill. I got a good price on it, tons of room for a car in this class, not so cheap interior, 6-speed, and a fun ride for what it is.
This is my first new car so I was wondering what advice you guys have for initial engine break-in and OCI's? The car calls for 5w-30 and I do plan on using a synthetic but should I wait a few drains before making the switch? Also how soon would you go on the OEM fill?
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
