EvilM3 07-23-2006, 08:10 AM the oil changes are free for 4 years so why would you want to change it yourself? sirtiger 07-23-2006, 10:41 AM the oil changes are free for 4 years so why would you want to change it yourself? the dealer recc. 1yr or 15k is not enuff if you really care for the car. I would DIY or pay someone at 7-8k miles no matter what. Zed4Driver 07-23-2006, 01:48 PM the oil changes are free for 4 years so why would you want to change it yourself? i know alot of bmw owners that change it every 3K. EvilM3 07-23-2006, 02:12 PM i know alot of bmw owners that change it every 3K. Is the oil synthetic? If so, isnt that a waste of good oil? I can understand changing the filter more often but isn't the oil good for more than 3000 miles? Zed4Driver 07-23-2006, 07:52 PM do you use full synthetic in your z4? EvilM3 07-23-2006, 07:58 PM do you use full synthetic in your z4? Is 5W30 synthetic oil not the recommended oil for this engine? Zed4Driver 07-23-2006, 11:01 PM 5W30 isnt full synthetic, its a part synthetic blend Roffle Waffle 07-23-2006, 11:24 PM i THINK its 0w-40 mose121 07-23-2006, 11:28 PM Amsoil full syn FTW! Zed4Driver 07-24-2006, 12:58 AM the stock oil is castrol 5W-30 synthetic blend Bsaint 07-24-2006, 01:07 AM I use full synthetic 15-50 all the time, and change every 6 - 7 i also dont really drive it in the winter so 15-50 is perfect. EvilM3 07-24-2006, 07:52 AM I use Mobil 1 full synthetic. sirtiger 07-24-2006, 09:23 PM always use syn...treat you car with some love :) Zed4Driver 07-25-2006, 01:54 AM just makin' sure cuz bmw reccomends part but i always thought it was odd that they didnt reccomend full |
