You are wasting money bro. Normal is around 7-8000

abenelo: 5000km or 3 months is appropraite for a fairly new car but for old cars ,2000 km or every 6 weeks is ideal.

Waste of money. 7-10,000 km is ideal. With synthetic, you can wait till 15,000km.
Came across an old print when Mobil first made their Mobil 1, it was guaranteed to still have it's properties at 25,000km. Well, that's not good for business .
Jiffylube started that bulls*hit of making people change oil every 5,000miles to increase patronage .
All in all , 7-8000 will be ideal for Norma driving

Emperoh: I hope you guys are aware that changing your engine oil and filter is not just servicing.
Other parts need to be looked at. depending on whattime and mileage as indicated by the manufacturer.
Issues like timing belt change, chassis lubrication, tire rotation, fuel and water filter change etc. are also part of servicing.

Maybe the auto technicians int he house can come forward with what need to be changed and at what time

Most cars don't use timing belt, everyone is moving to timing chain cus of longevity. Honda still use timing belt and that's changed every 100,000km depending on the car . Air filter is 25,000 miles or once a year . In cabin air filter is once a year average unless u drive in very dusty condition. Coolant is every 5 years or 120,000
What u mean by chassis lubrication? Maybe u mean cars with differential but u rarely change diff fluid for newer cars. It's a closed system .
What is water filter ? Maybe u mean fuel filter but that's up to user.
