i used to change mine every 3,000kms or so. when i had my old motor, it was around then that the oil would be black. i'd just check it regularly and if it looked too dirty i would change it.

i used K&N filters which are expensive but they keep the oil cleaner.

i've got a new rebuild now, probably will keep up the 3,000km changes as long as i can afford it, just to try and keep the oil clean, but if the oil can stay cleanish til 5,000kms.

oil is far cheaper than another build, so i dont mind paying $80 for oiland filter regularly. beats paying close to 10k for a rebuild.

well, hearing how many people do theirs at 5000 i'm starting to get worried i've done about 7,500 since i bought the car. it reads top right of my wind screen that it was serviced at 115000 k's and that was a good 6 months ago now... done about 122,000 i think. i'll get onto it in the next week or so. maybe just a full service...

could anyone PM me and tell me what gets done at a service?

is it just oil? or are plugs changed? and oil filter? and what else?

oil, oil filter, spark plugs (copper plugs) and fuel filter (maybe every 10k but if u can afford it do it)
