T. This is the first newer car I have ever had, so I would like to know how long before an oil change? Is it still 3000 miles? What type of oil, 10w30? Synthetic? What other normal maintenance should I be doing? Sorry if these are dumb questions! Have a good one, Rob

I would change the oil to a premium synthetic such as Mobil 1 or Castrol. The oil weight should be what your owner's manual recommends. If you do have the owner's manual normal maintenance should be listed, otherwise do a search on the Internet. Using a good synthetic oil allows you to change oil and filter less frequently, say 5 to 10K miles. I change mine once per year unless I've done lots of city, stop and go driving. Nice car, glad you want to take care of it!
