    My car and myself are serviced at regular intervals that are both preferred and recommended times.

    Car I was looking to buy had gone 4 years without servicing. Owner didn't seem to be bothered.

    I didn't buy it.
    However my lawnmower has gone without servicing for 10 years.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    I think if I remember rightly my lawnmower's first oil change was done at 12 years, although the mileage was still pretty low.

    Is that special Audi engine oil?

    The Skoda oil I use is much more 'runny'.
