Is every 8000 km good to change engine oil.

Thats about what I do these days.

A lot of people change at 5000 which is great and I personally think 10,000 is too long so I'm happy half way.

I have found that 10000km is even to long a wait for tb42, I did mine after 8000km last time and it really needed it. Am thinking of being really nice to my troll from now on and doing every 5000km. What a lucky tb42 she will be.

5000klm for all our family and work vehicles and do them on the 5000klm.

Just did the Patrol at 135000, next is 140000, the one after 145000 and so on real easy to check when they are due.

What do you do with your waste oil? Our tip takes it for free as long as there is no more than 20ltr, more than that and its commercial quantities.

Told the mongrel an attitude like that encourages the dumpers that spoil the bush, the stuff just a few k's of the tip is disgusting.

Did me no good, I still needed to pay, lucky the bloke at the sorting centre was a good fella and took it out of the trailer without asking me.

I do mine every 5000 on the dot, just to be safe and make sure that I take extra care of it lol
