    bmw and other euros do oil change 7500-10000 miles depending on driving conditions. you are supposed to just add oil as needed between changes. but you are supposed to also use dealer suggested fluids.

    i've also read debates on lightly used oil filters being better then new.... got me

    The oil works great. Just like JoeCoolATL says works great as long as the filter is changed. Its not hard to change the filter with oil in the car u just have to be quick and u wont lose oil. If u do just add more to factory specs. This oil is gonna put alot of lube shops in a serious hurtin.

    I'm going to try the 5000 mile oil on my new car. I'm letting the first change be at 5k anyways.

    I put cast syntec in my car and it lasts 5k...but I usually only get to about 3-3.5 before I get a new oil change...

    Of course I own this.

    Fuck it, I'll just stick to every 3000 miles, it's not that much of a hassle.
