Just wondering how often people change there oil in there scooby? Mine was 2,5oo miles ago and have been advised to get one again, but is this to early, maybe leave it til 5,000. I have used gtx semi sinthectic but have been advised to use fully

 

If its a Classic then its 6 Months and/or 7,500miles

If you do it any more often you will be awarded the ScoobyNet **** Badge of honour!!

But, its up to you!!

The car uses oil? Oh yeah - think I saw a light come on once

Being serious - I'm a bit lazy and don't do that "checking the engine stuff out" - that's what services are for! I don't tend to keep my cars long enough to worry about what they'll be like in 5 years time...

 

Once a year (12k miles) on a Classic

Depends on useage, conditions, driver and mods.

The harder, faster, colder, hotter, shorter and more BHP - the more often it needs changing

 

Always change my oil every six months or 6000 miles, no matter what car I've got. If you look after your car, it looks after you. That's my therory anyway

My My99 gets its oil changed every 6 months with only finest fully synth . For me that equates to only about 3k miles max. Doesn't seem to use a drop of oil in between either. For the sake of £40 it aint worth the risking scrimping.

Every 5K for my Wr1 Even if the service was'nt mandatory i'd still get it done on an STI

 

Every 4500 miles

 

Every 3-4k, good quality fully synthetic.

 

Every 3k, mobil 1 15w50, sti 4.

 

I get my oil changes every 6 months. I only only do 2.5k in this time however.

 

Really???

 

I got a 05 WRX and changed it just now at 3500 with fully synth 5w 40,( by subaru) and will do every 4000-5000miles. Willsy

 

WRONG Bob!!!

6 Months/7500 miles!!

I assume you meant a Classic??

(I hope you're not doing it just to make me appear ****!! )
