Just changed to Mobil1 5W30 ( the car has 16,000 km on it ). Wondering if I should reset the ECU, or it doesn't matter. If I should reset, would I do it right now or, say after 500 km to let the oil "work in"?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I would assume any serious modification that would require the ECU to "relearn" how the car is to operate under a specific setup with a specific driver (??).Originally posted by glyph

A particular oil viscosity and/or makeup is in no way known or even useful to the way the ECU dictates how the engine [management] system is governed.-Kevin

oil only maintains the engine, it doesn't make it run, so resetting the ecu won't do anything. when you change something that affects the performance of the engine, then you can reset it, really there is no need on the 2.0 b/c its got a preset map for WOT anyways.'02 classic red p5
