    When will you perform the first oil change?

    I know where you can find one!!! [raceflag] Go for it! I started my oil change plan a while back and plan to follow something similar. This engine could well be hard on oil, but any good synthetic should be safe for our engines at 6,000 mile oil change interval (if a spec oil). My 1st change...

    Who turns off the Auto Start/Stop feature when they first get in their Stinger?

    Apparently there are many things you don't realize. And there are many things that you should just leave alone! Know when to say when!

    Who turns off the Auto Start/Stop feature when they first get in their Stinger?

    I do want to disable this feature forever. I do not want lessons on how to apply the friggan brake. There, I said it!
