Default Finally!



Some don't believe the break-in mumbo jumbo but I am a bit old school and followed the manual word for word. I've been a good boy till NOW! It's time, it's TIME!!!

But of course first thing first. I have to change the oil & filter. Can't wait to see that little yellow triangle light up!

Congrats!

But if you're really a stickler for following the manual word for word, you don't need an oil and filter change yet...

I am amazed at how hard you have to drive to hit the lil yellow triangle. By the seat of my pants its time to shift 100ms before that. thats just me.

paul don't be a wuss. use that long gearing for the freeway onramp and you'll hit the shift light. It was really helpful when I was on the track that one day in november...

I did it also, but I changed my oil at a little over 1000.
