i had mine serviced in november a month after i bought it, paid £200 for engine oil,transmission oil and diffs .thing is iv done nearly 2500km since then and was wondering weather to have it serviced at again 3000km or is this a little extreme ???

Personally I do mine every 5000-6000 miles depending on use, I have been know to leave until 8000 miles though.

You'd only need an oil and filter change at your next service anyway, The other fluids will last a long time.

The modern good quality synthetic oils are designed to last 10k plus, But if you really want to waste £60 worth of expensive then that's your choice mate ;-) .

i tought everyone said 3000 miles between changes. if its not that that a bonus!! i`ll save on not ordering any more this week then

I personally would service it every 6 months as if I were to service it every 5000miles I would be servicing it once every couple of years!

 

[johnsy]

well for me 5000mile is about 6 months!

Every 6 months is good advice if you don't do many miles ;-) .

Personally I do mine every 5000-6000 miles depending on use.

As Rob says it depends on use, but these figures are a good base to use. However if you do less miles then every 6 months again is a good benchmark.

Take care of your engine and it'll last longer and don't scrimp on poorer/cheaper brands of oils. ;-)
