Oil change

How frequently are you all changing your oil?

I want to say that is like 7,500 miles or something...just making sure it isn't recommended to do it sooner or anything.

exactly- same here but I do think driving habits can adjust the time frame.... if one is light on the pedal the next service could be the annual one but if you drive aggressively the service indicator could adjust. This was the case with my 2016 M5 (all of my M's that had such a process) because after my 1200 mile service, the indicator came up again mid calendar year to reservice the car (circa 5500 miles).

I change mine every 5,000 KM. always - I love clean oil in my car, but I also keep them for like 10 years.

Little off topic, but has anyone figured out how much oil it takes to do an oil change? You can't drain all the oil because the oil cooler in front of the car is lower than the drain plug. I like to do an oil change in between the recommended intervals and I do those myself.

just did it 2 weeks ago - 8.5 - 9 litres, then check it- should be good.
maybe add 100ml or 200ml if needed.

Is there it a DIY video out there on how to change the oil? When I squeeze under the chassis all I see is protective armor!

I eventually need to learn to change my own oil! But for now it's still under the complimentary services.
