well I suppose I better do what is suggested in that video, easy to do and can't do any harm.

Has anyone noticed that the oil in the pot being grubby?

And the answer - yes it feels much better

Changed it three times before it seemed clean tonight - I think I will try again at the weekend (200 miles or so to travel tomorrow).

I guess the answer is to keep it clean?

Surely that a bit excessive ??!! When does it get changed in the service interval - every couple of years ??
