I completely agree. I know quite a few people back in Russia with X5s and a shit ton of other bimmers. Most people change the oil frequently. It just seems here we have too many what if it breaks after the oil swap opinions. My logic, if it breaks, I will deal with it, but this unknown as to why the hell it is happening, and me adapting driving techniques like its a damn clunker, that is pissing me off. And I always drained and filled all of my transmissions on all of my cars. I try to do it every 3rd oil change. Never had one fail on me.

Waiting for my ZF oil patiently.
