when should I take in to service? confused help
So my vehicle currently has 7,984 miles. I did an oil change around 5k and plan to every 5k. I was planning to do dealer at 10k but now I am getting more messages about oil change.
App and vehicle is saying change in 1,299 miles. I checked oil level and all is good. Should I just ignore and wait until 10k?? TIA |

if its been a year since the car was delivered, bring it in to let them change it even though its early- you dont want your service record to look like you went past the minimum yearly change interval (even though you are changing more frequently on your own) if you arent tripping the cbs interval by mileage but want to do more frequent changes, i would do it based on time, every 6 months with the yearly done by the dealer. your service record gets flagged if there's more than a year between oil changes (i know you are changing on your own, but their records are going to show exceeding the oil life) thats not a fight worth having in case you ever have an engine warranty issue.

Mine triggered at 12 months, with less than 3K miles. Did the oil change and reset the indicator. Not sure if you can do a reset if the indicator hasn't triggered.

unless its changed on the g platform, in the past it was X gallons of fuel with modifiers based upon an acidity sensor in the oil and a few other factors that influence the countdown. the warnings begin to pop up when you get within 1500 miles, they figure thats about a month of driving

If your odometer is reading 4100 miles and you get a CBS warning that says an oil change is "due IN 4598 miles"...then you're not due for an oil change until you've driven another 4598 miles. Due "in" vs due "at" is not the same.

On our 2023 X7 40 which was delivered in Sep 2023 we did the 1st Oil Service in March at 6800 miles when the reminder appeared saying due in 1200 miles which would be 8000 total. The second reminder appeared at 13,600 so at another 6800 from the last change we did it again. At this rate we will be able to do 5 Oil Services before 36000 miles when the free maintenance ends.

With turbos and stuff I’d rather do what I have always done and hope for best. Leaned at an early age oil changes are cheap to repair costs. |
