Hey all, I've read through a few similar threads, but I'd like to see what the group thinks about my specific situation.
I have a 2015 Infiniti Q60S 6MT (It's really a G37 for the unaware) with just shy of 16k miles on it.
I purchased the car about 2 months ago with under 15k and changed the oil immediately to Mobil 1 5w30 since I wasn't certain if the selling dealer had put cheap stuff in it or not. We're just about to cross over 1k on that OCI so far.
I have some RedLine 5w30 that I'm planning on switching to for my next OCI, but I have a 2500+ mile road trip planned at the end of this month where I'll be driving about 1100 miles each way without stopping other than for gas and bathroom breaks.
Would there be a benefit to swapping to the RedLine oil before the road trip?
It seems... wasteful... to drain out oil with only 1k on it, but I've read that these VQ engines are hard on oil and I was planning to make the switch eventually anyways.
I might still do it anyways if I get bored before my trip
