Were you obeying the oil life monitor for your oil change interval? What kind of oil (conventional or synthetic) did your dad use?
 
It's possible your car doesn't have an OLM - it may not be standard equipment on Aussie cars. At any rate, what does the owner's manual say about oil change interval?

Isn't Dexos2 recommended for all engines in a lot of areas outside the US? I'm under the impression it's a dual-use oil but US fuel economy regulations dictate the need for thinner more emissions-friendly oil, hence Dexos1.
 
Once a year is a good rule of thumb, but over and above that - possibly jumping over to the supplimental service manual - does it say to change oil at a certain mileage or follow the OLM?
