My misses did that to an old car of hers, drove it round for a few years never checking or servicing it and then the engine blew on the M25.
But what do you expect from a woman. ( * waiting for the barage of comments from the girls on here)*
had a new front tyre fitted toddy essential, alan( i think?) noticed i had low oil, so he topped it up for me, i didnt realise it burned oil a fair bit i had no idea!! i know you should check it but i though it would be ok till next oil change. so used to toppig up two stroke oil tanks every other day!!
how often should i check my oil, my SV is used pretty much daily!
