I'm coming up on my 6 month service visit for my 225TTR. My only problem is my car only has 800 miles on it. I know the engine has special break-in oil in it, and I don't really want to change it this early. I'm guessing that the dealer is going to want to change the oil, and won't delay. I'm not sure how big of a deal this is.... I switch to synthetic on my A4 after 2500 miles, and never had any problems. 800 miles seems little premature.

I know your going to say, drive it, but it's not that easy.... I store the car in the winter, so that has keep most of the miles off. I been getting ready to move next month, so that eats up a lot of my time. I also got shot in the right foot with a 12gauge shotgun, so that doesn't help either.

Opinions....

Thanks!

the TT does NOT come with "break-in" oil. Those don't exist anymore. Let the dealer change the oil. You can install synthetic in the car now because that is what comes in it from the factory.

I hope you feel better and heal fast!

The dealer won't want to change the oil. First service interval is 5,000 miles.

OK, cool! Thanks! I'm walking again, so that's good! Thanks!

Dealer actually sent me a letter after 6 months telling me they hadn't seen my car for service yet.

Left foot or Right foot??

Next time Brad, try not to drive with a loaded 12 gauge in the car (IMHO).

but unfortunately that was the Mitsubishi dealer regarding the freebie Montero, not the $40K+ TT. ;-)
