First dealership oil change? No, not yet.

Yep 10k is absolutely fine And you can use any brand oil with the proper viscosity . Brand doesn't matter

 

I have to admit this setup is more comfy than my TRD Pro Fox shocks..

I want something like ELKA nice to have something without ELKA price tag. Not sure if I should try OME BP51 as some claim it can dial to very soft settings. Or maybe something custom tuned to road comfort only by Accutune offroad, I don't want any offroad handling. Haven't decided yet.

 

It’s frustrating. Never once noticed it in the 13k miles I ran the OEM wheels and tires. The only change I made in addition to this wheelset was to get an alignment and in particular to bump out the caster. That’s added a lot of straightline stability. I was thinking about dialing it back a bit but can’t imagine it’s really the cause of the shimmy. If anything you’d think more caster would lessen it.

 

I have yet to get my first service, but I’m in the same area as you and I now have zero confidence in going to the closest dealer. I’ve tried the dealer for my wife’s Mazda with two return visits to fix mistakes, and the same with an independent shop.
