Servicing

[simonprelude]

Had a quick search on here and didn't come across anything.

What is the general consensus re servicing.

I have put too many miles on the car recently, however the majority are motorway miles.

Should I be using a 6000 or 9000 mile servicing interval.
Also what is covered on each service.

The last service I had done was a 60k service with no cam belt as that was done about 2 years ago.

The car is a 97 3.2 for anyone that doesn't know.

Although some of the parts say service every 6000 I'm pretty certain that you only need to service a 3.2 every 9,000.

Of course every 6 would probably be better but so would every 3!

Sounds right; 3 litrs cars every 6K, 3.2's every 9K.

Bugger, my 60K's coming up soon. :cry:

Cheers,


James.

Its just like DC2s that. They changed it one model year and the car was the same. I thought it was to do with oil advances in technology, so using better oil in any engine would mean can keep it in longer.

Myself i change every 4k as only do 8k a year anyways.

Simon,

I would say use the 9K interval...I am 99% certain this was introduced with the arrival of the 3.2 in '97 from the enquiries I made when getting mine done. I use the 9K or 3 months which ever comes first :wink: :shock:
