Thanks for the post and welcome. I was wondering myself what kind of notices I may be receiving when I fail to meet "normal" mileage/service requirements. I will be lucky to put even 5K a year on my car as it is not a daily and I will be storing for winters. Welcome to the modern world where electronic devices are telling you what to do 24/7. I will most likely skip my second service as the car will see less than 3K before it is due next year and just because it is free it doesn't matter to me. I really don't like most dealerships and have already had a bad service experience on my 1200 so the less someone touches the car the better, the odds they will f-it up are pretty good so I'll do my own thing as I have the knowledge and know others that do as well. Fuck the system.... |

Oil https://www.amazon.com/Castrol-03101...s=castrol+0w40 19.98 * 7qts/5qts * .95 (5% cashback) = $26.57 for 7 quarts. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 19.95 for 2 filters / 2 * .95 (5% cashback) = $9.48/filter Total = $36.05 So not quite $35 but close enough.

Btw, when I was reading the specs on the Castrol labels I noticed that only the 0W40 mentioned BMW LL-01. I owe you a beer! |

I've got 3 BMWs that I track and change oil on frequently as cheap insurance. I go through a lot of these consumables. Get the European blend for the LL01.

I'd be very tempted to do my own changes, and if I had a quickjack, I am 99% sure that I would at those prices for a change! How do you go about doing yours? the drain plug is hidden behind a cover and just putting the car on ramps changes the angle and the oil may not drain appropriately. I'm fine with doing the wife's SUV because there is enough space underneath anyway, and there is not much in the way over covers underneath the engine.
