I have a 2013 L405 , 73k fsh , I now only do about 5k a year.

should i be changing the engine oil every 6 months ?

I only do short journeys generally with the occasional long run.

Short answer, yes! Due to the short trips you are at much greater risk of oil dilution. I too now only do approx 5k miles per year and shorter trips and I personally change the oil and at least once between annual service, so easy to do yourself, even if you are not very handy with the spanners, and relatively cheap. _______________________________________________

Thanks Reggie, what oil / filter do you use ?

I always use a Mahle brand filter and 5W 30 C1 engine oil although there could be some debate amongst some to be using 5W 40 for higher mileage engines. Personally I stick with the 5W 30 C1. If search this site you will find many, many posts about this and where to get oil & filter from.  _______________________________________________

Excellent thanks

As recommended by others on here I've been using this since I got my L405.

Good value and a 20L drum will do two changes. Great service from S&A, especially delivery to Scotland which is often an issue for other suppliers.

Great Seatown thanks, I was thinking that was a good way to go TT

I'm like Timmy, actually may do a few more miles but lots of short journeys so there's a risk of oil dilution (a very small risk IMHO). I get my car serviced with an Indie in November and I do a quick oil change at the halfway point. Just done it in fact, using the draper pump and oil from Smith and Allen and the filter from eBay actually. I might just get the whole lot from Opie next time as it's simpler. An oil change is cheaper than a tank of diesel so it's pretty much a "no brainer" as they say. Geoff

Defo change the oil. Just done mine and got 10 litres out!
I do mainly short journeys to.

Thanks everybody.
I've never had trouble but thinking best to cover myself, prevention is better than cure as they say.
