By the time mine had done 12,000 miles the oil had been changed twice. l don't subscribe to the 21,000 mile first oil change. From now on it will get changed every 10,000 |

When I bought a 90 turbo diesel in 1990, the oil/filter change was stated at 3000 miles. 5000 miles if you used SHPD oil. That was mineral oil. Funnily enough I kept to the 3000mile service interval when I moved to a 200 tdi with semi synthetic oil. Now with a Puma 2.4 I do it at 6000 mile. Like mentioned earlier, the astronomical oil change intervals stated on all new cars are a sales thing and beloved of leasing firms! 1982 88" 2.25 diesel
