Oil Change Question.. Change or Wait another 1200 miles?
Okay, here's my situation. I'm driving my car to from SF to LA on Friday and....
My car is a 2009 335i E92 and currently has 13,800 miles. The last oil change I did was at 7500 miles and that was over a year ago. Over the last year I've only put about 1000 miles on the car. (I worked far so I had a beater commuter). Anyways, my car has not reached 15,000 miles yet so I have not performed an inspection 1. But, it has been over a year (almost 2 to be exact, in another 3 months). So here is my questions, Should I get the Inspection 1 service done even if I havent hit 15,000 miles yet? Or, wait another 1200 miles when I HIT 15,000 miles? Or, get it done anyways because it's been well over a year? Oil is based on use not timing right? Thanks in advance for everyones feedback!! |

The dealer will perform an annual low mileage oil change for no charge if it has been 1 year since the last one so you might as well get it changed.

You are entitled to one free oil change a year
They don't give you and Inspection 1 till 30k now it used to be 15k on the e46.
You are probably close to one of those time base changes like brake fluid to. |

The free annual oil change policy has changed. They will only do the annual oil change if it has been less than 6,000 miles since the last oil change.
