I change my oil every six months without fail and I cover roughly 2500 to 3000 miles to that. Plugs are cleaned at same time and will be changed after 12 months. Cone filter cleaned as and when required and my brake fluid and gearbox oil were changed earlier this year.

No idea as I take mine to a garage for £20 it's not worth me getting under the car to do it myself. Then theres the old oil to dispose of and the new oil to buy. £20 seems fair to me.
