The only exception I know of is a Mistubishi Pajero Sport which is to be serviced every 15000km (even 7500km if on heavy duty !)
It's long gone the time I had to change the oil of my "2 Chevaux" every 5000km and change the "vis platinées" by the way (dont know the word in english and Google wasn't any help)
Actually, I have little nostalgy of those "blessed times"

My old (53 plate, registered 04) Clio DCi100 had a service interval of 18,000 miles!
