I have always had a saying that "If you love your car, at least cut the book service in half. If you dont care go by the book".

I regularly do bits and pieces under the bonnet, throttle body, plenums etc etc. But I do Oil changes at 5000 - 6000k's and other oils when I think its time. Depending on how many track days etc. But all fluids are changed somewhere between 6000 and 15000k's
