FK8 Break In Period and Oil Change

[OneSickFK8]

I'll take a look today at the dipstick and check to see if it smells like gas. I haven't been driving the car hard and it isn't my daily driver. New oil is arriving tomorrow. So I'll probably change it before I drive the car again.

Yeah it happens no matter what. I don't move my car until the coolant temp is fully warmed up. Then another 5-10min before I go heavy into boost. Mine has a very faint smell of it. Oil lands today. Most likely I'll do it Friday evening.

When it's cold it's better to get driving within 30 seconds of starting the engine instead of just sitting idle. It will definitely warm up faster. You just go easy on it until the oil is up to temperature.

My first oil change I waited until the maintenance minder was at 15% at around 6,500 miles. No problems whatsoever

5min or so about 80% of the year. Now it's in the 50s so about 8min or so to get the light to even show on the dash. Then I leave and take the long way out of my neighborhood. It's fully warm as I exit usually.

I treat her like the high-end race car she is....

That's scary, I got my oil coming in today and maybe do the oil change tonight.

Read my post in which the quote explains it all better than me. It should be just a few above. I'm waiting until 3750-4000 now but that is my absolute max.
