Oil Changes - The Who, What, When...
I just went over my break in miles of 1200, and thought it would be a good time for an initla oil change. I contacted my SA who is very BMW service knowlegeable and he recommended that I wait until about 5,000 miles. BWM recommends Castrol Full synthetic 5W-30, and this is what I will use.
I have read a lot on here about people doing there on oil changes, or taking them to mom and pop shops. Any oil change done by anyone other than a BWM authorized service center voids the warranty. Question: Has anone else had there oil changed right after the 1200 mile mark? If so, did you notice any difference in the way the engine performed? Thanks for your responses. |
