I understand from other threads on here that our clever cars are supposed to tell us when the engine oil needs replacing, and that it isnt part of the standard service. (I Still think that's odd!)
Should I just keep plodding on with the current oil in the car until I get a warning on the dash? Or should I think about getting it changed anyway, its been in for over a year. Oil on the dipstick is a bit murky, but I've seen worse.
I'm not particularly interested in being told that it should be changed every 2 minutes regardless as I dont really buy into that theory (it's ok if you expect your engine to last for a million miles, the rest of the car will have fallen appart long before then).
So I guess I'm asking what is the longest interval I can get away with, and should I just let the car tell me when it is time.
Never had to top up btw, which probably says something about modern diesels
