Grant:
Great! That's where my numbers are from as well...
When do you think first oil change is necessary? 500 miles seems rather extreme...

Hi Grant
I did it at 3000km. At the beginning, the car used a bit of oil, now after 10k km it settled down. I haven't driven the car in anger on track but give it the beans almost during each drive, revving it out in every gear up to the limiter many times, especially on the German highway in high gears from 4. to 7., especially in PDK S sport mode. The car shifts close to 300 from 6 to 7. And with the M176 engine, the higher the gear, the lower the redline so if I shift manually I hit the limiter many times as I always want to go up to 8800rpm Oil got up to 110 degrees, water at 90 degrees, coming down quickly as soon as take it a bit easier. Oil is Mobil 5W-50, standard from the factory.
