4 months ago I change my oil and filter using a genuine filter and castrol G.P.S POWER 1 10/w/40 semi since then, I've only covered 900 miles. I did buy another 5ltrs of castrol G.P.S POWER 1 and oil filter ready for my france/italy alps trip which is approx a 3,500 mile round trip :smiley: but I've not done the milage I thought I would do, so undecided if I should change the oil and filter before I go this week end. total mileage on the present oil and filter would be approx 4,500 miles by the time I return and can't help thinking it's just a waste of oil and my hard earned dosh if I was to change again before I go.. thinking, it would be a wiser choice to change when I return.. what do you guys reckon then?

:shocked: :sweatdrop: :surrender: your having a giraffe aren't yea! Geoff belongs to the "dithering doderer" gang :grin: he may have done over 12,000 miles in 12 months but he retired yonks ago :smiley: so as all the time in the world to potter about here and there to do that mileage :yes: now to ask a man of his very mature years to cover over 3,500 miles in 9 days is expecting a bit much from the "old boy" :mfr_lol:

Now and again I think like a "dithering doderer" :sad: I've done this now and again... since I venture out with the "dithering doderer gang" :grin: when we met at devils bridge! but thankfully I always see sense :yes: before I did what ever I was going to do :laugh: suppose with me already having the oil and filter and time on my hands I was looking for some thing to do :smiley: but you are all correct :yes: changing the oil and filter at 900 miles to cover another 3,500 miles is a complete waste of money and time :smiley:
