Yeh, wouldn't have seen that twenty years ago!

I have found 0.1-0.2mm of gap opening on them if measured

No need to change at 10k intervals though with modern timing and fuels, 20K is erring on the cautious side even for lpg

Although, given the low cost, if you have the coil packs out for any reason, makes sense to pop fresh ones in

10k: Oil and filter, with a flush and lifter treatment.
20k: 10k plus Air/Pollen/Fuel filters, Spark plugs.
40k: 20k plus Cambelt and Water Pump.

I service mine that intensly because of the mileage that I do , though am considering dropping to 5k oil changes though to help it last longer.

I'm guessing yours barely ever gets cold so 10k is probably a reasonable schedule - assuming you use the good stuff (5w30).

Upto 160k it had only had 10w40 in it, thought I'd treat it and used 5w30. Top end was then very rattly when cold, now use GM 10w40 and not so bad other issues notwithstanding

Mileage a bit high for the thinner stuff perhaps..

It actually quietened mine down from cold.
