Oil Change

Lexington · 10-14-2009, 10:27 AM

Planning on doing an AutoX in a couple of weeks. My car is due for an oil change. Should I do the oil change before the AutoX or after?

Umm before. duh.

No reason to wait till after the Autocross, especially if it is due now. Even more so if it is the factory recommended 15000 mile change.

It's an annual change that is due. It's been a year since delivery but I only have 4,000 miles on the car and only 2,800 since a 1,200 mile oil change.

Rule of thumb for most track guys would be to change out the oil and all fluids before and after the car is being driven hard.

Good luck and have fun out there!
