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
