Yes, recommended to change every 10,000km or 6 mths whichever come first. As I am a low mileage user, my 6 mths is around 5,000km, so I just change lor. :smile:

No lah, I learnt my lesson the hard ways during my younger days when riding bikes. Now my motto is, I take care of my ride, it will take care of my life.  :D

In this instance, mineral oil should suffice should you change your oil every 5,000km at 6 months.

Of course, using synthetic oil is fine although I feel it is a waste of money.

I have always been changing my engine oil only when my mileage hits 9,000km to 10,000km, which is a 10 to 12 months interval for me. But I make it apoint to never exceed the 12th month.

So issues with all my previous cars, the longest one which I kept for 8 years.   :smile:

I recall reading in a Shell booklet that if your engine oil is still clean even after some mileage, then your engine oil is not doing its job, unless your car is brand new.

The booklet continues to say that dirty engine oil indicates that it is doing its job of cleaning up the engine.
