The guy I bought it from said I should change the filter and oil
after 500 miles. Now to me that seems quite a bit too much, after all the
oil is very expensive at =A376 for the 10 litres and I was always of the
opinon that you change the filter only after say the 500 miles but not the
oil.

Hey JB look at it this way.
You need a blood transfusion, the quack says, now
maester you can have the ordinary stuff , you
will feel right as ninepence and just like you
have always been when you walk out.
Or you can have this new super blood, does the
same job mind, but does it in a quality kind of
way and gets round the old passages and ports a
bit easier. So good that it will de-scale them a
bit, though just a tad at a time, but it will
accumulate quickly in the kidneys and in the
first 500 or so miles you will have to p***s it
out a bit more often. But then the super blood
will have done its job, you won't need new
kidneys but changing their element at 500 will be
a great help (its only about 12 euros after all).
If you do that then the super blood will be OK as
its got that added ingredient of 'quality' that the old stuff didn't ever have.
But remember, it may be super stuff but it ain't
gold plated, its like the old blood but keeps you
more perky for the same change period (puts lead
in your pencil so to say). So don't overdo it old
man, keep coming back as recommended and don't
try and extend your new super blood's life by
saving cash on transfusions, or you will be back
here flat on your back in the meat wagon one day.
Your lovely little body will not change, it will
still wear out, its just that the new blood will
put off the day that you start to feel knackered.
And anyway, you like coming in for the
transfusion so you can ogle that nurse in reception.
Does that make sense my friend?
I changed both my 80 and 4Runner to synthetic,
but I ran them both on semi-synthetic for a
change before the synth. My Pajero only runs on
semi synth. Maybe I am over cautious though.
