I am certainly going to take them up on the 3 changes. Especially since the weather has a lot to do with being able to change oil in the car. Prior to my little Mirage, the newest car I owned was a 2003 Toyota. So I am absorbing all this new engine technology stuff quickly. Thanks everyone for the input.
    Nice.

    The cool thing about the 3A92 engine is it's not particularly complicated in design.

    What do you think about the Motor Oil University series?

    I drive over 800 miles per week, and have always changed oil at 6,200 miles. It is always dark by that point. I've used both 0w20 and 5w20. I find the 5w20 is more quiet. I usually buy what is on sale. My 2014 is at 171,000 miles and I'm pretty sure I (and everyone else with a CVT) will be replacing transmissions well before we replace engines. But an early oil changes makes for easy piece of mind.

    Well I am at the dealer for my first of 3 free oil changes. I really do not like my dealer, but free is good. I have now had my car for just over 3 months. 7,100 miles. We shall see how this moves forward from here
