    V8 service intervals for VY gen3... Are they every 10,000kms or 15,000kms?

    Thanks.

    Every 10,000 i think.
    I do mine every 5000, have always done this because mine is lucky to do 10000 a year so keep it fresh.

    Is it worth servicing it every 5,000 if you drive it hard or 10,000 is fine?

    If you drive it hard, then you would want to service it every 5,000.. Thats what I do for my VY (V6 though)..

    10,000km is fine unless you do a lot of driving on un-sealed roads or similar.

    Adam - That is the funniest thing I have seen in a while :D
