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...

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

. 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.NS04
