NISMO Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Given how much i drive my car, its more like every 4-5 months which in k's is less than 1000. Oil and filter Why?? The car is rarely driven but started often. It probably idles more minutes than it gets driven. I've heard that with excessive idle time, fuel can dillute the oil, so i play it safe by changing it more regularly than some. Its still only around 2-3 changes a year so its not a massive cost. I should just get my a$$ into gear and do an oil analysis so i know if it is actually diluting - but seems more effort than 2 changes a year Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/392032-how-often-do-you-change-your-engine-oil/#findComment-6244666 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just take it out for a good spirited drive on the weekends. Cars are meant to be driven.

Just take it out for a good spirited drive on the weekends. Cars are meant to be driven. I change my oil every 5000km on all my cars. Very true about not driving the car often. The R34 sits in the garage and only taken out on some sunny days, now the suspension is slighlty noisy, streering sometimes groans. Once I use the car for a few days in a row - no squeeks or groans.

GTR-N1 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Q. When you're checking over a car for yourself or a friend, do many of you... a) poke your finger under the filler cap to feel for grit and sludge? b) smell the oil on the dipstick for burnt odour? c) check the colour for blackness? d) check for presence of immiscible water present? e) check the coolant for oil present? BTW I change oil every 5000Km or 6 months whichever's earlier + before hard driving.
