New Smart in Ames

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?

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!
