Oil change, 6 months or annually?

[Shaunpaul]

Hi all, do most people change their van oil annually or at 6 months? Purchased a new Iveco and first service is 3 years or 30k. Surely the oil need’s changing before this, but would this void any warranty if I do it myself sooner.

this pinged on the dash yesterday.

I have mine done every year in my hilux. Can’t remember what Toyota recommend but I only do 6-7k miles a year in it. Personally I don’t think it would do the engine and good to leave it 3 years and definitely not 30,000 miles. Oil and a new filter is cheap, a new engine £££££

My two motors do approx 5-7k a year each and I service them once a year. Sod all this long service interval crap. 

 

Oil and filter is cheap enough

Could it be 30k or 1 year, whichever comes first?

Definitely check with the warranty details if doing it yourself.

if thats the mileage from new and it was my van it would of been changed at least 4 times by now, said this for a long time now and mentioned it a few times on here over the years, oil n filters are cheap compared to metal mechanical moving parts, perfect example is a lad i shoot with who treated his self to a Izzue pickup 19 plate i think, 400 mile past its 15000 mile service time and it snaps a con rod then 8 grand later its back on the rd, as Swinny said sod the long service times,
