• Gearbox Oil Change 25 Jun 2002 (Forum)

• changing oil filters 26 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  When changing oil filters, the makers tell you to coat the rubber sealing ring with engine oil. I still use the method that used to be recommended years ago which is to smear grease on the seal. Does any one else still use this method and what is the purpose anyway?
• Changing engine oil 5 Mar 2001 (Forum)
  I'd like to add to David's enquiry and ask for views on changing to a different oil. I have heard/read some opinions suggesting that you should stick to the oil that was installed when the car was manufactured, which seems a bit extreme to me and puts Mobil 1 in the shade for a start.

• DIY servicing - Extended intervals - a proposal? 29 Jul 2013 (Forum)
  a motorist to go upto 30,000km (18,600 miles) / 2 years between oil changes. One snag is a DIYer cant easily support this as resetting the service indicator requires specialist equipment and the simple reset available switches the car back to fixed 15,000km/1 year intervals losing the built in oil monitoring
• Oil changes 28 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  I see that someone (in Saturday's Telegraph) has had the temerity to challenge HJ's advice about the frequency of oil changes (a braver man than me, evidently!). The fool goes on to suggest that his Skoda Octavia is fine with its oil changes at 20,000 miles. What I should like to know

• Mitsubishi Outlander - Outlander gear change stiff after oil change 14 Oct 2014 (Forum)
  service agent that I find it hard to believe that an oil can retain it's properties forever which he did agree with. Anyway, we had the oil changed but since then 1st and 2nd gear are stiff to engage. It's going back in for them to have a look, but they insist they will have used the right grade oil. I'm
