Very interesting that BMW has "changed" their minds on the OCI.

I think what this really means is that for all of us who have been changing their oil at 5K mile intervals... we have probably been doing it RIGHT all along - for long term engine life health.

IMO 10K is still too long to go on an oil change. 5K miles is best.


Guys - think the real reason why the same engine in an older(built) cars(built prior to July 2013) has a different OCI is bc BMW does not want to re-calibrate every car's instrument panel's SW level.


Now... IF bmw could just bring back the oil dip stick I would be a happy camper.
