Can somebody with an '02 check their service interval, my book is in the boot and the car is stuck in the dealers. I was definately told first service at 12,500. Thanks.

I think the 'optional' services are for extreme climates.

my oil does look quite dark though, I've always understood the best way to guarentee longevity of an engine is regular oil changes?

My 02 book has same no's as Pete's
Dealer said no need - but I want to move to full synthetic when I get to that mileage.
