How often do you normally change your oil?

Would it make a diiference on how many times the oil gets changed...

less chance of the pick up pipe getting blocked etc

or?

I change oil once a year as I only do 8000 miles

If you dont change the oil often then deposits will build up and cause issues. If you do low mileage and short runs I would change the oil more frequently. I do mine roughly every 3 months as i do lots of short runs now. It is also worth to run an oil cleaner in the engine before changing the oil to help clean the oil pathways. Id prob do one every other oil change for peace of mind
