I am lucky if I can manage 5k miles a year, never mind in 6 months. Do I still need the oil change. Had my boy for about 7 months now and he is not starting very well. He is running fantastic, but, being a thicko on the techy side of things, is this oil change really neccessary. Is that why he is not starting too good?? Anyone

Oil Change every 4500 miles misti

or six months which ever come sooner :wink:

Not "starting" well as in lazy turnover or not firing first time ?

Posted: **Sat Mar 03, 2007 12:32 am**

Is it?? So what about the fact I don't even do that in a year. It says every 6 months or 5k miles. Do I need to do an oil change now, even though I have only done about 3k miles since I bought him

Starting problem will not be oil related....

Best to change oil as recommended. I.E., 6 months.

What service is due on your car?

Not firing first time, very sluggish. He is garaged over night, so can't be damp. Still under warranty

But you oil service must be due since you have had the car 7 months.

Your tracker system wears your battery down, which would cause slow turnover, but still should start quickish ....

Best take him to a dealer and get a service !

p.s Ask them to put treacle in the oil as it will run sweeter :rofl:

Think of it as looking after your engine.

An oil change is never a waste of money....

Think of it as buying a new pair of shoes that are the same colour as the ones you got last week!!! :wink:

Not worth it for the sake of warranty for most people.... But I would still stick to this oil service interval for resale and for longevity
