First oil change E70 LCI??
Now there is 12 month / 15,000kms before the next service (presumably with oil change) I would be interested on peoples thoughts on if it is worth getting an oil change done at an independent mechanic now? I am on the corporate program with BMW and if i do get an oil change done at this time will not record it in the service book (as i want to keep only BMW service for the first 3 years in case we want to upgrade with BMW later) What oil do these use? How many litres? How much is an oil filter? thanks |

IMO if your planning to keep a vehicle for the longer term then regular servicing is important if you want in this case your BM to reward you. I change my oil and filter every 10ks as I plan to keep my 05 diesel for a long time yet, if my turn around was four years I wouldn't be so diligent. With the oil filters I purchase MANN brand who make filters for BMW, I pay $48 for an oil filter and $58 for an air filter way under BMs price. www.hvfs.com.au As for your oil I don't know wether your X is petrol or diesel.

Yeah if you plan on keeping it, I am all for old school maintenance!
Oil & filter every 5-10k is a good idea IMO, especially for a TD
