Hello,

Is it true that now BMW just like Benz changes oil every 10000 km ?

Whatever people say 25000 km was too long between each oil change.

When I bought a new 2000 BMW 323ci the warranty did not cover service. I had to pay for oil changes. The M52 engine was required to have synthetic oil changes every 7500 miles. This is in the manual. In 2001 the same BMW (now called a BMW 325ci) with the exact same engine was to have oil changes every 15000 miles. This is the exact same M52 engine with same oil filter and oil. No change in engine. However the new warranty starting in 2001 covered oil changes. So the upshot is when BMW pays for the oil changes it is 15000 miles and when the customer pays it is 7500 miles. BMW was simply trying to save a buck and knew engine problems would arise far after the warranty was expired. 7500 is the correct number and I never heard of a BMW getting sludged up with 7500 mile oil changes on synthetic oil.

Thank you.
