  N reg Nissan Micra (K11 type) mileage: 69k I used to change oil filter on this car every 10k or 12 months, usually at MOT time. But I have changed jobs and now drive about 22k per annum. Just for arguments sake, would extending the oil filter change period to 20k damage the engine on a car this old?

They're pretty much all marked up AC Delco exchange service but checking a few of the numbers they don't come up in google or on ac delco's own site. I am fairly certain most of them are for pre 1980s cars.
