no, it's a coupe. so most of you seem to agree with the mechanic that it's generally a mileage issue, not a time issue... thanks for the input. |

I change mine at 4K, or just before any track event. |

I usually change every 5K on all my cars, but on my Ferrari I do it every 3K, regardless of time lapsed. Don't ask me why...

A few bucks is worth the piece of mind. Change every 6 months or 5k |

i know the book says once a year or 5k miles (i believe that is what it says) but the mechanics have told me since the car uses synthetics that you don't need to change it every year, just every 5k miles... of course, being a worrier, 18-20 months (which is about how long it will take me to put 5k on it - i know i know, i need to drive it more!!!) seems like an awful long time to go w/o changing the oil but who am i to question them??? the car doesn't get driven nearly as much as i'd like but it rarely sits for more than a week at a time. thanks for the info... |
