How long should I wait before doing the first oil change on the TL? I was told by the dealer to wait until 7500 miles because of the special additive in the oil, but I think that's a bit too much.

 

If the dealer and the manual say 7500 miles, then i'd listen to them. I personally change my oil every 2500 miles. I don't know why, but i do.

TLracr,

I am an alumni of the USC chapter.

 

AKPSI - The manual suggests 7500 miles in normal driving conditions or 3750 miles in extreme conditions. My dealer told me to follow the extreme chart in the manual for the maintenance schedule. I'm planning on having my first service at 3750 and then switching to the normal driving maintenance schedule. For whatever reason, I don't want to wait till 7500 miles before I change out that special break-in oil. Just my two cents.
