Depend on usage.


Gordon's a keen track driver who knows how to work an engine, so if your like him (and also work in a trade where you have access to cheaper engine oil) then 2-3K changes aren't a bad idea.

If your only an occasion track driver or never go anywhere near the track then you can go longer 9 -12k.

Cheers
