?'s about regular maintenance on FI Cars (procharger)
So i have a forged lq4 w/ a f1 procharger that i put in this winter and i have put about 1000 miles on it since the break in ( 620rwhp thanks to slowhalk in MA) and i have been checking all the fluids and everything looks good so far. Was thinking about doing a oil change soonish and was going to cut the oil filter open and make sure there are no shaving before i put in the new stuff. Now i know there is a lot of controversy on what oil to use i think im going w/ valvoline VR1 0/30 or rotella (bc its cheaper and change it ever 1000 miles) and is it worth going w/ the synthetic or not??
How ofter do y'all change the procharger oil (heard ever other oil change 2 or 3K??)
**is there any other maintenance i should do at this time my first FI Car
thanks guys

Don't be too alarmed if you cut open the oil filter and find some shavings in there, as this is a fresh engine. Everyone has their favorite oil but I recommend using synthetic, Mobil 1 is easy to find at most auto stores.
The first oil change in the ProCharger head unit should be done at 500 miles, after that every 6000 miles. Bob
