(1) Is it better to use cheap oil and change often, or use good quality semi-synthetic and change less often?

Dunno about coolant, but I would have thought annually, like brake fluid? Thats what I do anyway. No wonder, as mentioned by the good wife, it costs a bomb to run. So does a new engine...

That'll save me a few quid this year.....
