Every 12 months or every 6000 miles, whichever is first. Which is also when you should get it serviced.

y do i need to get a service every year if the car has been sitting in my garage and its only done 2000 miles for the past 12 months, and will it need an oil change if the oil in it has only done 2000 miles

Oil deteriorates over time as well as use, I usually change the oil every six months on mine.

How often should you have the tappets checked ?

[dell]

every 2 years or 12 thousand miles ,,

I'd reccomend an oil change every six months regardless.........

whats the best oil for the job ????

Changed mine recently for Mobil 1 0w40.
Sounds smoother now.
You'll need about 8 litres.

WOULD IT BE RIGHT TO SAY that all speed six engines burn oil?????

It seems that every engine is very different. Mine uses hardly any oil - others drink it.

Just wondered if anyone could tell me how they go about doing an oil change on a Tuscan. Been thinkingh about upping the frequency by doing a change every 6 months or so but not keen on driving the 200 miles to the dealer every time. Plenty experience of mechanics with 'normal' cars but never done one with a dry sump.

Any help would be good.
