My 100Q has now done 210,000 k's. When I purchased it I got a third party warranty and that required me to have it serviced every 10,000k's which I have done. The warranty is about to expire so the question is, should I revert to the factory service period of every 15,000 k's or err on the side of caution given the age of the vehicle and stick with 10,000 k period. I use the car every day for work and the k's add up quickly and the service period is about every 4 months.  I intend to keep this vehicle so want to look after it.

Any thoughts, Orggti what's your opinion ?

Thanks

Definitely the lower kms. I service mine every 7-8000km. It's done exactly the same mileage as yours. The point is to identify leaks / cracks / potential problems before they occur, and of course the risks are greater the higher the mileage. If you're doing mostly urban driving, this is even more important IMO as older heavy cars don't like slow stop start driving very much.
