Service intervals

Anyone know what the service intervals are from new. I seem to remember that they were quite regular?
I will do about 3000 miles a month in the 8 so I probably will need to book it in for a service as soon as I get it?

In the US it's every 7500 miles. In Canada or Puerto Rico it's every 5000 miles (cold temps, dusty atmosphere, short trips etc given as the reason). Haven't seen the UK owner's manual but my guess will be every 6000 miles

Yes Morgan is right, 12K miles. I do about 8K miles a year but it will still have an oil change every 6 months.

Hi guys

I just checked at the Dealer in Bristol and they said 12500. Cost will be less than £200 for the full service. I would imaging a lot less for an oil change.

I will be changing my oil every 3000 with this car I think.
