Default Out with the Z in with the S

Well as some of you may know, I finally made the deal and traded my 350z track for a sebring silver s2k. All I can say is WOW. Talk about a difference in cars. I must say I like the S2k a lot. Its like a glove. Both cars have positives and negatives however I like the S way better. Just the fit and finish is awesome. Now saying that I do have a few Q's. Are there any sticky treads of things to look out for, and keep a watchful eye on. I will post some pics as soon as I figure out how to do so. Till then stay tuned.

first, congratulation and enjoy ur s2k. I dont know if u already know about this since u've been an enthusiast for 273 days. The only thing u gota keep in mind is to check ur oil level everytime u fill gas. if u goin to pour some oil, make sure it indicates close to High mark, not exactly on high mark. There's other little things to look out for, but that's basically the common so u can enjoy ur s2k a lot longer. If ur car is brand new, make sure not to rev it more than 5krpm if it hasnt reach the brake in period yet. better yet read the manual, it'll tell u everything.

enjoy

check the oil when engine is cold, best time would be early in the morning before u go to work or something.

use castrol gtx 10w30(any other 10w30 dino oil should be fine) for topping up.

Thanks guys, actually I have moved to gainesville currently, but still go to otown on occasion.
Thanks for the advice on the oil. Is sythetic a good option to do, or stay with convential? Well the car is an 03 with 4500miles. The car didn't cost me a dime extra than what I was paying for the Z, it was an even swap. My Z had 24k miles and was in need of a few things to fix. So overall I am happy with the deal. I must say its more fun to drive than the Z, I didn't think it would because I loved that car despite some of the issues. Hey do you know how to make the car a little more stable around turns it seems a bit twitchy. Would swaybars help with that?

Good choice. I sold my 6MT G35 Coupe to get an S, and I couldn't be happier with the decision. I bought the G because I had a del Sol VTEC before, and I thought I wanted "torque", but after driving with it for a while, it just didn't give me any thrills. I bought the S and it always gives me a kick when I drive it.
