    Can anyone recommend a decent synthetic oil ? Wife called Mitsubishi yesterday for 130,000km service and was quoted 8000bht , but on several sites I found it says at that mileage only oil and air filters need changed. 
    I can get the filters easy enough but not a clue about the oil .

    8000 ! same on the benz ! hahaha

    Swiss gold cup filter has many advantages over machines, way cheaper for a start, unlimited choice of coffee grinds to use, complete control over strength, requires no electricity, doesn't break down and can be used for mugs too.!

    Might be worth looking into.!

     

    yes , you can also drive a toyota, but not my style sorry, I have a face and style...

    Yeah, I have no interest in hybrids or electric cars.

     

    I am only buying faster petrol cars now because one day, they will be gone ????

     

    same here, and in case someone really likes an older Benz or BMW, soon retrofit will allow to put some batteries inside !

    I might get one if you do not have too many problems with it after few months...

     

    It seems that Japs are not even able to make a coupe that is worth looking at ?

    I tried to be open minded, but can't find anything !

    My Dad , an accomplished mechanic, always said “ you will never wear an engine out by changing the oil too often” 

    We always changed oil every 5k, oil & filter every 10k.

    Manufacturers recommendation with Ford was 15k/12mths. Would do oil & filter at that stage, and oil only at 7.5k.

    As others have said, with the mainly short trips that you do, I would be changing the oil now. Prevention is better than cure!

     

    A real genius to change oil but not the filter every time...

    I'm quite certain there isn't a single manufacturer who says oil change should be every 5k kilometers (Maybe some super fancy supersport cars, but not "regular" cars)

     

    In USA yes, because those people are good at listening and following BS, it's easier than trying to think ????

    I am thinking of buying my third - so I'm an idiot just because you don't like them?  I LOVE them but I resist calling YOU an idiot

     

    The old mini was nice, the new one is just an overpriced standard car. For the same price any Benz or BMW is way nicer.

    There's a massive amount of difference between the a Honda Jazz and a luxury car - and you pay for that extra quality/service.  

     

    this is what all the cheap charlies here will never understand.

    Until recently i never drove a "standard" car in my life, only German, so it was a shock ! Feel like driving a boat ! Even the latest 2mb camry and accord, they are plain ridiculous compare to the cheapest german car.

    My last employer and my sister both had the Nespresso and yes they are excellent. I can not speak about the Thailand pod availability.

     

    yes everybody knows that Nespresso is good, but what compared to Dolce Gusto that is also from nestle but a lot cheaper ?
