covered oil changes
Hi All,
Like any good Addict, I paid for a BMW oil change after the initial break-in period. Now my trip computer is saying I don't need service until my car reaches 22K miles! My question is this: am I entitled to an oil change covered by BMW every 15K miles, or only when my computer tells me its time to go in? My SA tells me that I'm only eligible for an oil change when the computer says so or when the age of my car hits 1yr. Wouldn't this be a negative incentive for paying for a non-covered oil change as it "resets" the computer? Thanks, Brian |

Oil services are covered when the car says they're due or a year has passed since the last warranty oil service. The counter should not have been reset when you had your oil changed.

guess im in the minority, but i didn't get an oil change at 1000 miles. i know it can't hurt, but i guess i figure if the car needed an oil change this early, the dealership would have told me so....i mean its extra money for them....
thoughts?

why don't the dealers tell you to get it changed, its money in their pocket? couple of reasons: 1) they don't want to contradict BMW, their boss, in any way. 2) they are already working at max capacity, so whether you pay for an oil change or not, they will make the same amount of profit that day (they only have so much mechanic time and its already being paid for by BMW when people come in for warranty/scheduled repairs).
