Oil Change

Post by Rory35i » Wed Nov 23, 2022 9:06 pm

Hi just some advice had a full service a year ago and have only done 1k since, do I need to do an oil change or will it be ok to leave until next year's service? Taken it out for a good run today and running like a dream.

Thanks

Oil Change

In simple terms no…you can always change it and it will do no harm..some good for sure…is it worth it..not sure you can prove it.

If the 1k miles was mostly occasional good runs where the oil got upto temp for say 30 mins then all good…

If you stop started it 50 times and it never got warm then best to change the oil..

Whenever you do the oil always do the filter..
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…
