Had mine changed in our own workshop by our head fitter at 3000 miles and, still think one year or 15000 miles is too much currently at 8000 miles and will be doing it again soon. Its out there somewhere. Second V10 Treg on the drive at the moment. |

I should think it'll apply to most engines, new oil can never be a bad thing.

Oil changes can never hurt. The real benefit of more than recommended oil/filter changes is debatable. Of course, the oil changing industry wants you to do it as often as possible. |

Do the Euro RRS's use synthetic oil? I ask because the US oil/filter change recommendations are at every 7500 miles, NOT 15K

I was told to use 5W30 fully synthetic oil, which over here relates to Castrol Magnatex.

The haulage fleet for the company I work for are on long drain oils with change intervals of 6 months but very high mileage. Its out there somewhere. Second V10 Treg on the drive at the moment. |

With the long service intervals on modern cars (due to the better oil technology), I've been a bit worried about the long interval of the first service on a new engine. On previous vehicles, I've done initial oil changes at around 7,000 miles.

Since the chassis of the Big RR is completely different and does not have dynamic response - I am sure the sport will continue to drive/ride better. |
