    How many miles has it done?
    Id very much doubt it needs doing.
    They usually last the lifetime of the engine.

    Mines on 45k miles and still mint.
    These engines only need oil change each year to run forever.

    You'll soon know if its Duff, it will rattle. If it aint broke dont fix it, Presume you have a Workshop Manual! Changed mine at 22k on my 1995 F3.
