Oil Change?

My raptor is 10 days old and has 500 miles on it now. I am leaving for TRR on April 6th because I have some work in Houston first. I will probably drive it another 200-250 miles before I leave. Trip to Houston is 650 miles. Then I am going to TMX on Wed, 300 miles then out to TRR, 260 miles. Miles for TRR and back home at another 600+. Figure by the time I get back, it will be over 3000.

Should I get an oil change at 750 miles before I leave or just wait until I get back? Wasn't sure if having the factory oil during TRR would be a good thing or not.

was it your spindles that blew out at Raptoberfest or was that someone else. I had one of two stage IV+ trucks there, the other one died.

Nope mine worked like a charm... after this jump we did like 10 more short laps and then I drove it home to Dallas..

Motomute bent his spindles / knuckles which ended his time...nothing to do with RPGs stuff but the spindle/knuckle is the last weak link...
