Hey knowledgeable members!
Hey boys and girls. I haven't been on here in a long time. Just a quick question: How often do you change oil, those of you using non-synthetic oil, please.

Thanks!

I'm glad you asked because surely NOBODY else has ever asked this question!

I do hope that you've changed your oils at least once or twice (sarcasm font intended there) since Mar 2008

Yeah. What can I say. I'm lazy.

Thanks for the help, though!

Come on man. You have an owner's manual. It's a good start.

I guess the better question is: "How often do YOU change your oil?"

With the information you are giving us, we are guessing "not often enough".

Every 10.000km, unless you drive very hard. Some say 5000km, do what you are comfortable with.

And premixing made a difference for me, I'm using 1:200 mix.

Don't you know that you don't need to change oil? What a waste.
