Oil Change First or Car Wash First?

[jigman5]

I can’t decide which I should do first, should I wash the car before an oil change or change the oil then wash the car? Or better yet wash, change the oil then wash again?

 

[TumeK5]

...what does it matter?

 

[A_Higher_Place]

Maybe wash your oil before you change your car?

 

[OldandSlow]

Yes.

 

[Suzuki-Cara]

Change the oil first, mainly because I want to see that 1+ horsepower gain after the first few changes.

I wash my car with oil.

Is your car's engine lubricated with soap?

 

[Bowtie-muscle]

Wash first, because it is at the top, then change oil.
Change car........
Change oil first, because that is where you will be by default because it was what you "performed" last, then wash the car.
Rinse, and repeat........

For each used car:

You want to start at the bottom and go to the top:

Restore rigidity
Then engine overhaul
You technically don't need oil change at this point but for good measure, do the oil change


Then you finish up with a good wash.

 

[Talon16]

Just do engine overhaul every time and you don't have to change the oil.

I get the feeling rebuilding the engine, and then changing the oil is a rookie mistake.

Also, throwback to the time you could change the oil on your Tesla Model S.

Obviously the car is dirty after changing oil, so wash it after.

Just dont put it upside down while changing oil?

Why wash cars at all in this game?

I always change the oil first and then wash it.

I've not seen any improvement in speed after washing car even after not washing it ever...

Depending on the weight and formation of dirt, mud, whatever it shouldnt change.
Propably it all has the golf-ball effect making you go faster, but the weight offsets it so there is no change at all

Washing doesn't help, you need a good polish & wax for the paint so you get a lower cd. I hope we get this option in GT8.

 

[Rossell2]

I wash my car with oil.

I oil my car with washer fluid.

 

[Tommy_D]

I would wash the car, but don't bother with an oil change. Thats all just a scam by PD to lower your credits and force you into MTX transactions.

Why wash cars at all in this game?

The cars do actually get dirty and allegedly increase drag. You really can BARELY tell your car is dirty(the colors and reflections are dull) until you decide to wash a dirty car, then its like, "HOLY CRAP! They DO get dirty!"

 

[Lebowski]

Why would you bother changing the oil when you can just buy a whole new, fresh car?

I always wonder why cars are not getting more dirty in GT7 especially in photo mode you do have oil stains, dirt etc. It would be so freaking cool to have really dirty cars after some races and washing it after it.

In photo mode to our have the ability to leave the stains on or remove it...

Oil stains & dust in GT7? Blink and you'll miss it.

Something I noticed in the State of Play for GT7. Being able to remove oil stains, dust, dents, scratches and lens cracks in photo mode. How are these oil stains going to be formed I wonder? Will they stay on the car after the race? Which would finally give a reason for being able to wash your...

Yes, but they look the same regardless. It's like it was planned to be in the game - cars getting dirty/oily - but it never actually happened.

Actually, I take that back. Lake Louise races the cars will show snow on them. That is the only track that does this, as I recall.

Why would you bother changing the oil when you can just buy a whole new, fresh car?

Why bother paying to wash the car when you could paint it for free?

Paint over the dirt? That reminds me of...
