no it isn't, it was fully serviced 800 miles ago

Changing mine next service, which is next month - which is around 6000 miles since last time. Mostly short journeys in the Stilo though, so keeping it every 12 months is best I feel

short journey means every 6 months

Seriously? Thought I was being overly cautious doing it every 12 months (as the manual says). If it's every 6 months, that'd be every 3000 miles for me - worse than a Mitsi Evo's servicing regime

Mines isnt due for another 5 1/2 months.
Oil is still looks like honey. :slayer:

According to the book mine aint been done in 30k!!!!..... dunno if the previous owner had it serviced and just not stamped though!!
When ever Stuart is free it is gettin changed though if this snow ever decides to gtfo.

Oils an easy change! I've done it once, on the old bravo, and as long as you take your time and think about it then its an easy enough job!

I've got a week off nxt month and I'm taking the car off the road to do S**T loads of work to it.

List of what needs done:
1. Exhaust- Probs going to Natioal Tyres for that and pay £180.
2. Brakes- Got new pads for the front and maybee do the back.
3. Handbrake- Needs new cable.
4. Oil Change- Gonna buy a new Filter and Pray when I do it, due to it being the Euro3 Engine the Oil Filter sits at 1 side and not at an angle like most would.
5. Tyres probs go to Arnold Clark (Fiat) in Ayr and get Pirelli's fitted.

And pos few other bits and bobs.

1)if you gonna pay 180, might as well get a stainless system made up. And i got my janspeed cat back system for like £225 brand new. (but it is for a spi)
2) Back is a right pain in the arse u have been warned
4)Good luck , i find everytime i buy a car, in the first oil change, the filter is a right pain to get off!
5) thought about using 175/50/13 ? Can get them on the minispares website for around £50 a pop, and is is the famous Yoko A539.

Good price for them too

Unfortunatley they dont do them in 14's or id buy some for my cinq seeing as i need 2 tyres

 

[ycming]

hmmm here they are for the 14s!

But seeing you have 6j might as well go for 195/45 cheaper tyres..

Cheers.

I barely get away with the 45 profile though. so a 50 is a definite no go even i there wasn't a price factor to consider
