   I'd be reluctant to leave it for 10 years. I had mine done at 6 years with ~45k on the clock - better safe than sorry.

   ^ I agree with this, ten years is a long time, obviously more modern engines and components are better suited to coping with longer intervals between replacement/servicing, but its still a long time lol.
