6" lift, 35" tires...pita really...especially after rotating the tires, it's a ***** to park, fronts are scrubbed to flat. Just keeping it for towing.

Had the computer reprogrammed, added 90rwhp. Goes like a raped ape now.

It's an Exhuast System...

If you dont have a TurbpBack Exhuast System your missing out. Makes your EGT's drop by 200*F. And gives you up to 30HP. Check out MBRP Exhuast Systems great price and awesome quality.

To the OP, if you are nervous about waiting that long before the initial oil change you could always take an oil sample and send it out to be analyzed. It only costs $22.50 for the normal test and the lab sends back a full breakdown. It is pretty normal for people in the VW/Audi community to do this once in a while just to check in on the state of their engine.

Cheap insurance when you've put some miles on. Might not be quite as applicable in your situation but I've always been tempted to send in a sample before the first oil change on a new car. Here is a link to Blackstone Labs, which seems to be the go-to company for oil analysis: http://www.blackstone-labs.com/standard_analysis.html

I say that the larger surgery facilities give better oil changes than the small ones because they get a better deal on the oil and the floors get cleaned more often.

That's good info. Especially when buying a used car.

Yea Blackstone Labs is the best place to send your oil in.

I just sent in a oil sample from my F150. It's my 1st analysis from Blackstone. They sound really accurate on knowing how your engine is without even looking at it physically....pretty cool.

Considering it is a 2007, it has been sitting with the old oil more than a year. I say change it.. but that's just my personal opinion
