The range rover gets oil and filter every 6k miles as its getting a bit long in the tooth. The 106 gets oil and filter every 1000 miles where possible.

Personal choice really to my customers depending on car and use I say anything from 6 months to 12 monthly service. Also depends on the quality of filter and oil used.
