Just to say and still in the incorrect place! I would change any new car oil and filter at 1000 miles just to be safe. What feels like a hundred years ago now I was told that an oil and filter change at 3000 mile intervals was the cheapest repair bill you will ever get given. Moggin I don't know how many miles a year you will do over there in your car but an annual oil and filter is a must on any car regardless of use. Service intervals are constantly stretched to keep ownership costs competitive, But this doesn't mean they are the best you can do for your engine rather what the manufacturer can get away with on a short term ownership basis. so I will leave you to decide on your service routine.... and enjoy your plus four!
