Probably will do it around 100-110k or so just for preventative and peace of mind. Or if I have to do the alternator or am in the area in the future

It is pretty straight forward. Kind of a hassle to clean the area though. Just when you think the OFH is empty, it dumps more and makes a bigger mess.

I'm due for another CCV service interval soon and may go ahead and swap out the dipstick tube even though I hadn't noticed any issues with them in Texas.
Maybe fellow Texans TiAgX5 and bcredliner have similar experience to yours?
2002 X5 3.0 290,000 miles

I was getting about the same consumption. Hopefully it is better now. I'd get the new tube. The new design makes so much more sense and it is so easy to replace with everything already torn apart.
I had to go to the dealer today to pick up the oil filter housing cap orings. I thought I had them, then cut off the old ones, then realized the orings were for something else. The BMW tax is real.
