Title: Oil change
Post by: stealthwolf on November 27, 2008, 03:04:29 pm

Currently on longlife servicing (it's what the car came with). Just asked about changing it and they will switch it to Time and distance when I take it in for servicing in January.

Anyway, the oil's quite dark. If it was my old car (five years out of warranty) I would have had the oil change done by now but given there's still about 2 months to go, can I continue to drive the car?

Oil's pretty much black.

Yeah got the dealer to stick some longlife in it to top up a coupla weeks back because they didn't have 1l longlife in stock.
