[QUOTE="gendong, post: 748459, member: 22402"] Congrats again on owning the ride bro. Its one sweet ride. First thing, would suggest you to go back to the the Auto Bavaria service center where your friend sent it for service, and register yourself as the new owner. U only need to produce proof of ownership and they'll settle the rest, no fees required here. Once that is done, and as a registered owner, U can ask the service center to print out the car's service records, means u'll have a full history of what was done or changed to the car, and a clearer understanding on the current condition of the car, and what to prioritize when it comes to maintenance. Thats what i did when i first got my pre-loved ride. To shed some light on your queries: [COLOR=rgb(40,40,40)]1) The car indicates that I need to service in the next 1000KM. What is the recommended engine oil that I can use? [/COLOR][I]ODO meter clocked 120,000 KM.[/I] [COLOR=#0000cd]Use fully synthetic oil with BMW LL-01 spec.

[/COLOR][I]10,000 KM?[/I] correct, 10,000km [COLOR=rgb(40,40,40)]3) When I do need to do a transmission fluid change?
