I do it every 5k or every 6 months. Whichever comes first. I don't like my oil sitting in there for long periods. At $60 DIY, it's better than having an engine fail in the long run. |

My question wasn't "should I follow the service manual" my question was "HOW CAN A CAR GO SO LONG BETWEEN MAINTENANCE" and this answered it, thanks

Maybe, I could sell my post boil-off phase oil for more money. Since, it is pre-broken-in, and past the initial boil-off phase. |

1. It can't, but BMW wants to wreck your car. 2. Experience shows there is no adverse effect. and the somewhat related: 3. More frequent oil changes serve no useful purpose. |

Never ceases to amaze me at all the armchair engineers on these boards. The engineers who spend thousands of hours in R&D, testing and improving coatings, designs and the operation of engines...along with the chemical engineers who work alongside these guys formulating oil to last longer under these operating conditions...are stamped null and void by the US consumer on a hunch and conspiracy theory...amazing...

In fact, it reminded me, in some part, of the The Great Eskimo Vocabulary Hoax (1991) by Geoffrey K. Pullum. Thirteen pages of education, inspiration and mass helpings of dry humour ... enjoy. "But the lack of little things like verisimilitude and substantiation are not enough to stop a myth." |
