First off, congrats and great choice.:R 🙂 IMO, you should change the oil now, then again at 6000km. After that you may want to change it out every 5000km At this point you may want to consider switching to a full synthetic, like Motul 8100. Break In Period: If you are unsure about break in methods then I suggest following the guidelines from your users manual. But I am a firm believer in varying engine rpm throughout the power band without redlining for the first 6000km. Good luck & Great choice… Hope to see you out at the local meets. Also check out [My350z.com](http://My350z.com) and pop into our Canada/East/Regional forum, we have a meet/cruise scheduled with the G guys for next weekend.
