Oil maintanance on after a 1000 miles

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

If it's the service reminder light you can set up different intervals via the controlls on the dash.

Odd - most dealers will program that interval at the 3750 mile mark as recommended by the service manual. It would seem like your dealer took a different approach and recommended you take it in a 1000 miles, which is the mark that many auto enthusiasts and experts recommend for your first oil change, as there is a lot of debris that comes out of your first oil change (small metal pieces, etc from the engine beginning to work for the first time and getting set in place correctly). Call your dealer and inquire about it, just to double check.

Thanks all
