Want to change fluids at 1/2 intervals - can't find schedule
Hi all,
I had an oil change at 7,500 miles because I didn't trust BMW's ~15k interval. I plan on changing all fluids at 1/2 of BMW's schedule.
Now I read that they've changed the oil change interval to every 10k (but ONLY for models built after June 2013. Huh?? They have the same engine I do. What, my engine is OK every 15k but new models aren't?... but that's another thread...) This just confirms my feeling that their schedule is more about marketing a car that's had a reputation as being a high maintenance vehicle as a low maintenance vehicle. I plan to treat it like the high maintence car that it is because I hope to have it beyond 100,000 miles (I put on 20k a year).
Does anyone know where I can find a maintenance shedule? I know the car monitors itself and lets you know what it needs, but there's got to be a rough guideline out there somewhere.?
I've scoured the web, and I've seen the Mike Miller old school schedule. I'm looking for a current, real schedule from BMW. Does one exist?
