Just a friendly reminder before you take your shiny new car for a spin.

As in GT5, changing the oil, even on a brand-new, zero-mile car can give you a small but not-insignificant horsepower gain. I checked my 0.0 km Honda Fit RS's HP before driving it or doing anything to it: 117 HP. After an oil change: 123 HP. That's Cr. 250 well spent, if you ask me.

Now, if anyone has any idea how to disable the annoying HUD hints that come up whenever you shift, accelerate, or brake, that'd be great. EDIT: I found it. In case anyone else wants to know, the option is accessible during a race - press Start\Quick Options\Button Navigation\Off. This is also where you can customize the colour of the HUD gauges. I didn't even know that was a thing!

I've done this since I think GT1, or 2, depending on when you could first change oil. I'm pleasantly surprised to see they kept this little feature in.

It made sense for the used cars, because god knows when the last time the oil's been changed in a 1984 Celica.

Judging by year, probably some time in 1982-83.
