Hello all,

I could not locate the recommended oil change frequency anywhere in my Metro handbook.

Any ideas how often-or after how many miles-Rover recommended this? It would be helpful too to know the suggested fluid change intervals for the transaxle oil and also the coolant and brake fluid.

Thanks!
Julian

From respective Haynes Manuals:

Austin & MG Metro - 0718 (red cover)

Up to 'G' reg (May 1990): A-series 1275 engine

Oil and filter: Every 6000 miles or 6 months. 10W40

Brake & clutch fluid (Dot 4): 18000 or 18 months. (Seals and flexible hoses every 36000 or 3 years)

Coolant: 24000 or every two years. Ethylene glycol based.



Rover Metro, 111, 114 - 1711 (Blue cover)

'G' to 'N' reg: (K series engines)

Oil 10W40 & filter: Every 6000 or 6 months.

Check transmission oil every 12000 or 12 months and top-up as necc. It doesn't state how often to change so down to you. 75W80

Coolant (Ethylene Glycol) based & Brake Fluid (Dot 4): Every 24000 or 2 years.

Brakes: overhaul every 60000 miles or 5 years.

Thanks very much.....I'd best get on with it then!!!!
