Mine started as two years, but now looks like one year from dealer pickup date. Looks like the changes will confuse even the dealers. I really don't even like anyone touching my oil. I want to visually inspect the oil filters, and send occasional oil sample to Blackstone.

Oil in the US is dirt cheap even for Mobil 1 0w40 which I'll use. While in Germany on Euro Delivery I looked at hardware store, and oil would cost 4-5 times more.

I have to take left wheel off on my Mazda Rx8 to change oil, so the X1 will be easy. I bought a nice filter take off tool from Amazon for $18 that will make it easy.
