Iowa smarties?

[john42]

Hi all,

Just picked up my red/black passion coupe Thursday (Jan 22, 2009) in La Vista. Reserved it May 31, 2007 so I waited 602 days (20 months) for it to arrive. I'm taking it to Spencer tomorrow for a visit so I'll have 600 miles on it after the 4th day.

What do you all think about 10K miles before the first oil change?

Nice John, GLAD to see another smart in town. We now have 5 smarts in Ames, and your the first and only red.

One day we should have a Ames gathering at Hickory Park.

I changed my oil at 5K, just because I think 10k is too long an interval for such a small motor. IMHO.
I bought 6 filters from LaVista and used 0W-40 Mobile1.

Just got the cargo tracking information on mine. It was oaded onto the cargo ship in Bremerhaven today (About 14 hours ago-their time), ETA in Baltimore February 7. Looking like the end of the month of February before it will get to LaVista, another couple weeks before I can get away from work to go and pick her up. So all told, about 600 days for me too!
