Hope I am not repeating a question here: I have a 2011 V12V which just turned 10K miles. It had an oil chnage before I bought it (May 2016 to be exact). I cant seem to find any additional fluid service records, pollen filter change etc.

I am driving the car 1-3 times a week from 40 miles/day to only 10 miles. It will be parked for winter (December=March most likely) and driven perhaps once a month the most (snow is a bit of an issue around here in NJ)

Should I go ahead woth the 10K service or with a 5 year service? OR could I wait until April/May, do the oil, filter and then the 5 year service in one setting?

Sometimes just not having the stamp / missing timeline in the book isn't great. What you could do (which is what I do with my Atom) is take it to be serviced, explain the situation, and get them to do a 'lite' service. They'll do some essential things, maybe save you some money and then you'll get the stamp and retain the history. If you're dealer is flexible - maybe they'll understand.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Chris.

If it had an oil change in May and as you have done so few miles i would not do anything until May next year , then do a yearly service. It will be fine don't worry.
This year i just had a oil service, cost me 900 euros though thieving bds.

Thaks guys. I found an independent (not as easy as in the UK) shop which will do as good as a job for much less than the dealer. BTW the dealers shop missed a few things during the PPI and charged me an arm and leg. Not going back.
