NYCdob Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I posted the Subie Newbie thread last week the day before i picked up the car. Well I picked up the car least Wed night and headed straight to Vermont the next day for 4 days. A nice 4 hour low RPM drive to VT from NY to warm her up then i turned it on in the back roads of VT - but not too much. Then 4 hours back home Sunday night - that was my 1000 mile break in and i loved every minute of it. Coasting around mountain, roads up and down dirt trails (we were staing in a cabin up a dirt trail), passing three cars at once in passing lanes - BLISS YO!! Doing my first oil change tommorow for the 1000 mark 5-30 Pennzoil with a Purealotor Micron filter - thats works right? There is so many opinions about these things. Should i be using any Slick50 or Lucas Oil additives yet? No pictures yet but it is bone stock black w/ tan interior but she did look pretty with all the dirt and dust from VT on it. Last night i beat up a civic ( not a rice paddy but a nice sleeper) but still caught a beating. Its nice to be over 1000 oh yea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthedeck Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Smooth. As for the oil change, just the filter and the oil. Don't add additives...not worth it, IMO. Sounds like a fun trip. Maybe some of us members from the NYC area can get a meet going...since there are about 4-5 of you in the BX, and a couple in Westchester, etc. Good luck...

NYCdob Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 I heard that there is a meet at the Palisades mall this Sunday at 12pm. I am 70% there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdw Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Slick 50 is completely useless. Just switch over to Mobil 1 at the 7500 oil change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that there is, however, I will be working this weekend, so it's a no-go for me...even though I'd like to attend. Once I am relieved of working on weekends, I will able to make the next one, depending on when it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
