My little work horse

I change the oil and filter every 12,500 miles (about every 8 weeks in my case lol!), and use SAE 5W/30 engine oil. Yes... I've done 24 oil and filter changes since buying the van!...it's a good job that it's a simple job on the Berlingo (if you have a pair of car ramps that is). I have a new Berlingo L2 on order with the "Look pack", and will post a pic of MY new "Work horse" when I get it.

That's impressive, the oil changes are one of the reasons, but the high mileage is t he main reason, engine is always hot, so no sledging up of the oil, prob not so much stop start work, most cars will do huge miles under these circumstances.
