Oil change interval on fully syn motor oil

[Rick Wong]

Hi all member,How your oil change interval of your UDM? from report said that for fully syn motor oil, like mobil 1, castrol edge, etc.... can last for 15000km, do you change your motor oil by that mileage? or by 5000km? or 10000km?

I change mine every 8-10k km ... I use fully synthetic oil.

Its 5000 or below for me, using fully.
To me good quality petrol, oil and fluids are one of the cheapest things to pamper my rides.

5000km and I also flush Dont forget the oil age too so do change your oil every 6 months.

I change mine every 5k km ... I use fully synthetic oil....like what InfinityKL stated "To me good quality petrol, oil and fluids are one of the cheapest things to pamper my rides" I strongly believe in that and couple with the fact that my Heavy Foot is always at work every-time.... :wink:

Fully synthetic mobil1 replaced every 7.5k kms with oil filter .Ron 97 mobil now petron. Every 40k kms g/box flushing

Owh, none of you change your motor oil at 15000km, isit a waste using fully syn like this, some of you even less than 5k do the change? less change less waste oil less pollution haha, newer car come out with motor oil condition sensor make by Bosch, this thing sense the viscosity of motor oil, nx time your car tell you, she need the oil change not you anymore.

I change every 8 to 10k. Advisable to change before every 10k to take care of the engine.

 

[BenedictC]

I do it every 8k-10K, yet to flush...

Rick, elaborate discussion here - http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/foru...F30-first-service-due&highlight=first+service

In my opinion 5k for fully synthetic is unnecessary. I plan to do my at 10k.

i change mine every 75days ... too much rempits hence the reason for regular oil change

engine oil cost is very minor compared to the headache and lighterbwallet you'll have when the oil is use for too long. Browse through to see what sludge can do to your engine

 

[infinityKL]

Yes sludge and carbon is root cause of faster wear n tear inside. When i opened top head for gasket change, puts a big smile on my face to see cams and all still gold in color! Mechanic also surprised to see a clean engine, carbon free.
