- This would explain why I'm always putting oil in my '60 TR-3A, when the garage floor doesn't show leakage and I don't see blue smoke out the exhaust. I'd be interested to know where you found the 30

- That was actually the 'wear limit' figure, it appears on page 13 of the (Bentley reprint) Driver's Instruction Book : "When the rate becomes higher than 1 gallon per 1,000 miles (1 litre per 400km),

- I'm going to guess that 99% of us drive our Triumphs less than 6000 miles per year so I'm wondering what the oil change frequency is? I do about 5000 miles a year, with 95% being between April and De

- I average much less than 6000 miles a year, more like 1,500 to 2,500, and I change my oil and filter around mid-April and then again in late November. I have also been putting in an STP additive as w

- Once a year or every 5,000 miles. Car manufacturers call out oil changes every 7,000 miles or every 6 months (or so) but they have to assume that the owner uses the car every day and if they don't d

- Bob, I may be a little on the overkill side, but, on the "3" I never go over 1500 miles, if it is a long road trip, I will at least change the filter during the trip (always carry 1). On my other car

- Dave, yes & no, newer cars that have the 7K oil change also have fuel injection, our cars have a great tendency to leak down gas while sitting, this in turn dilutes the oil, washes down the walls and

- I agree with Fred, except that my oil changes cost me more like $30, because I like synthetic oil. I'll also point out that most auto makers seem to have a far different idea of acceptable engine lif
