In the 18 months we have owned our 2012 Holden Commodore Equipe we have only done 10,000km. It had its first check at 3000km, had a nine months service and only had around 6500km on it at its first oil and filter change, and it is now 18 months old and I am told it is due for its 18-month service even though it has only got 10,000km on clock. The oils are supposed to be so much better today and last longer, so why do I need to service it so often?
While oils are better now than they once were, so to are the demands placed on them. Regular oil changes are wise to keep your car ticking over at it should, don't hesitate to do the servicing.
