Oil change interval and filters.

[dhutch]

The 306 (1,8l ex petrol engine) is a 5k mile change period.
- Wehn i bought it it had blatantly done more than this, so i did a flush, oem filter and oil.
- Ive now done another 5k and wondering about changing the oil and filter again, maybe.

Pug changed the interval on the engine a while later i believe, and certianly 5k isnt long (5months) And i know if most people owned it it would be on an anaual change like everything else.

Crux of the matter is its a absolute ruddy arse to change the filter, and its cold outside.

How likely is it that if i just change the oil and next do the filter in another 5k it will do really any harm at all?

Its a v-reg (2000plate) merdian 306, haynes says its 5k, as have other people.

Im using esso total as thats the recomend oil, and for 4l is as cheap as most others for a change.
