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 ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

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

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 ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

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 ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

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 ![Laughing :rofl:](./images/smilies/falldownlaugh.gif)

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 :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

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
