It doesn’t matter if its a Vespa or a Peterbilt truck — if you ignore the maintenance needs of your vehicle, you do so at your own peril. But it can be difficult enough to keep track of…
I have a question. At page 150 of the European user manual for the Jeep Renegade, it says to change the oil every 30k kilometers (19k miles). (And this applies to most petrol engines sold in the last 5 decades.)
Why in USA it’s common to replace the engine oil 4-6 times as often?
I believe 19k on modern engines with modern oil but have a hard time believing they recommended the same on many vehicles pre ~2000 when engines and oil were much less robust than they are now.

I’ve had the oil in my 2008 Sienna analyzed a few times by Blackstone Labs, and have been told that 5k miles is what I should stick to.
