Hey

My 05 plated SV6 is fast approaching her 15000k service, will it matter if i go over to say 15500? Reason being, im going to Europe in 30 days and i want to service it when i get back. Will it matter if i go 500ks over?

Oil & oil filter. And that's about it.

Fuel & air filters aren't until later.

Wow, someone does'nt look after there car. You do know oil looses all it's ditergents at 5000ks, 7500ks max. After a while your lifters are gonna get noisy cause undue ware. They only put 15000k services for the rental market.

going 5ookm's over wouldn't be any drama at all,i get my sv6 serviced every 9 months regardless of km's.your lifters will not get noisy,because it is twin overhead cam,no lifters.

Hahahaha! I love people who have no idea about engines.

No it doesn't matter a great deal if you go past your service interval.

I really hope I never buy one of these oils with "detergent" in it... I don't own a diesel engine and it would seriously screw it up!!!

Exactly what is "undue ware" for lifters? lol Yes cars need routine maintenance but NO they don't need to be done exactly on their service interval.

Yeah, what highendrev said!

As for only setting service intervals for rental cars, lol rental cars have the rings driven out of them - I would imagine harder than any other car on the road. If anything, service intervals for rental cars should be smaller!
