BMW Oil change game
Everyone (04,05 and 06) is at or a little under 5k mileage to date July 1st.
Oil change was done last Sept of 2020. Because of the low mileage, oil appearance and almost no top offs...seeing that I'm on top of the BMW oil change game...AND with my bological internal "oil change" alert, I decided to not change the existing oil...But, to change the....oil filter! (Ive got plenty in stock) Stroke of genius! HUh....? Sent from my SM-A115U using Tapatalk Last edited by getty150; 07-05-2021 at 02:50 PM.

Good question re low annual mileage...
My son's 2003 325i M54 car with 100K, he lives in San Jose CA, and only drives 2K a year. Most trips are 3-4 miles. Warm weather in California. I elected to replace the Mahle oil filter once a yr, simply bc I don't know how long the oil filter lasts. Some ppl tell me the oil filter can last 2-3 yrs etc... After one yr and 2K later, the oil "looks fine", still yellowish. So I keep the oil. Oil is a commodity and we take it for granted for years. So for low annual mileage cars (2K-3K/yr), I replace the oil filter once a year and the oil once every 2 yrs (4K-6K or so)... So far, no issues... PS: Cold climate such as Minnesota, Iowa etc. is a bit different...
