12 months is too long to have the same oil in the engine - change it quick!!
I have a friend who worked for Castrol for many years. He always changed the oil in his own cars at 3000 miles, or 3 months. His comment concerning 12000 mile service intervals was '.... we can't make an oil that will last 12000 miles without deterioration - and if we can't, nobody else can!'
