When to Change Oil
I just purchased a CPO '06 X3 with 23K miles. The first oil change was done at 17K miles this past January. The dealer said I should come in for an oil change in January '09, regardless of mileage for an oil change. My serice indicator is stating about 10,300 miles until next service. I've always changed oil in my vehicles every 3K miles. I understand the X3 uses full-synthetic, but oil changes once a year and 15K miles doesn't seem like enough. Should I do an oil change now and then bring it in for the dealer oil change just before 30K ?
