Hi All

I have just enjoyed a trip to Devon in my baby where she performed perfectly for just north of 1000 miles.

I have come in for some criticism in the past for changing oil too frequently, circa 2500 to 4000 miles for fresh oil and filter.

My oil and filter were 3500 miles old and I pamper my baby always fully warming her up before driving at any type of speed, gentle inputs, regular air and fuel filters etc.

The old oil was very thin and jet black so in my mind it was well worth changing so soon.

My gearbox oil was last changed 16000 miles ago so that's next for me. The filter/sump was replaced 16000 miles ago also so will likely just change the oil itself.

Diffs we're done 10000 miles ago so they're OK.

Nearly forgot, have also added ZX1 Extralube which I swear by and because I have used for 2 decades on all my cars I believe it's why my engines are always so good so I can't stop using now!!!

My next job is a new set of terafirma front discs and pads to provide a small upgrade in performance. She is due a brake fluid change so a good time to fit the new discs and pads.

I only do 2500 miles per year but still better than a worthless warranty.

Am also a ZX1 ( Micro Oil Metal Treatment ) fan, not just for the oil, but also in the fuel and a few caps in the coolant

I just do an annual oil change everytime the MOT comes around, and a new oil filter from Mann

These Mann oil filters are not cheap paper ones, but really good material, highly reccommended by nico-nico and myself ---- Mann Oil Filter Part LR022896 Mann Part HU 718/5x £16

Only a few months ago I bought this kit from Talexin, very good quality and good price, my auto box is now noticeably smoother for doing it, something that I will do every 2 or 3 years from now on.
