Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Every time the oil is changed, you'll find the recommended interval in your service book.

It depends on the manufacturers specifications (The likes of VW / Audi have longlife service intervals),but I would always get mine changed at least once a year or every 10k miles.
