What sort of maintenance intervals do you use?
What sort of maintenance intervals do you use?
In one of the other threads, there was some discussion on oil change intervals and such. Someone suggested a 7500-12000 mile interval for oil changes on a "highway only" car... which I personally thought was well beyond crazy.
I'm running a basically stock S4 NA motor, with the oil injection system disabled (running premix at a 100:1 ratio, give or take, usually erring on the side of more oil than less).
I change my oil and filter every 2000 miles or so, spark plugs at 5000-7000 (but I'll clean them if I get bored), and try to bleed my brakes every few months. The coolant is new, but I'll probably change that in a year or two.
I check the tire pressure quite often, every other week or before I leave for a long trip.
It's probably a bit excessive, but I do get oil dilution with premixing, and as someone on another forum pointed out, "Change your oil - not your engine." I've changed the engine once and have no desire to do it again any time soon. The rest of the stuff I just consider general maintenance on a sports car. Plus, it's really, really easy to do.
What sort of intervals do other people use?
