i used to change every 3k miles which to be honest is excessive but made for a decent saturday morning job. Book will say 10k miles or there abouts which should be fine really but 7k would keep me happier

Yep that sounds about right. I do mine every 5-7K. Also don't forget to change the filter occasionally. nothing worse than a choked filter.

Id say about every 6k is spot on

Also go to www.opieoils.co.uk and order

New Oil
Oil filter
Fuel filter
Coolant
any other little things you need like spark plugs and brake fluid etc

Buy everything seperate and pop down to a garage if you arent confident mate :y:
