Car with shortest service interval?

[aproctor]

While looking at exotica on PH I was wondering what the shortest service schedule is on a production car.

We all know Ferraris can cost thousands and thousands for the most simple task but i find it more shocking that EVOs are around the 6k mile mark.

Some evos were 3.5k no?

240SX S14 for the oil change?

 

[stulid]

FQ400 EVO 9

Nissan 200sx has to be up there, 3000 mile oil changes.

Thought we had this discussion before and said the 200SX was actually 6K and in actual fact decent oil can last even longer.

Is the RX-7's interval pretty short?

Aerial Atom maybe?

 

[tigerstyle]

Veyron?

 

[Confused]

Mitsubishi Evo, and the Galant/Legnum VR-4 both have a 4.5k mile service interval, as specified by Mitsubishi.

This is engine oil/filter, as well as the fluid in the AYC clutch packs in the rear differential, and just a general service "check over"

All I know is that my SAAB 9-3 aero was 20k miles. Crazy!

That the GM variant? It's like that on the Vectra. Nothing says fleet car like 20k service intervals

 

[Dup]

Aerial Atom maybe?

Why the Atom? It's a Honda Civic Type-R engine (in the UK anyway), pretty average servicing like any other car really and they're not exactly used as daily road cars with road milage.

enzo's are pretty bad, every 3k, less if the car tells you it's unhappy with the way you thrash it, think the mad FXX is every 200 miles, but I can't find anything confirming that so it could be BS pit talk

 

[Flibster]

Veyron is a good bet at every 2500 miles.

Imagine if you lived more than 200 miles from the dealer?

Not a problem as Ferrari won't even let you take it home with you

Nissan 200sx has to be up there, 3000 mile oil changes.

The handbook says to change the oil every 6k. Owners who have more money than sense seem to think they need to do it half that amount even though they put in Sylkoline fully synthetic which would probably last 4 times as long....

Personally I do it every 6k as per the book .

600miles for a Japanese car? that cant be right? even if it is a look over.

Any car driven on American soil. They have this mindset of 3000 mile oil changes!
