I follow the preventive maintenance model for severe vehicle mileage. I change the oil (Mobil One) every 12-13 months or approx 3,000 miles. Lots of short distance trips (less than 6 - 50 miles), followed by a run around the interstate with a heavy foot. All the fliuds are getting replaced this winter (49K) as I have another vehicle or two to use when weather sucks or have a meeting where safe parking will be an issue.
The X5 sits outside with a Battery tender on her and lots of Wax. One very clean 4x4 beast.
