[QUOTE="viewfinder, post: 395424, member: 1704"] Hmm that's ~RM75 per liter. Outside fully synthetic is about RM50/liter but different grade (I think it's 5w40 Shell Helix Ultra) as you said. 520i needs 6.5liter also? Isn't that the same as 525i or 325i? AB told me the service interval is 20K km post the first 10K. I think the 25K is the old rule... they may allow change at ~18K. But highly recommend to do intermediate... this is what the dealer people on the front line are consistently telling customers. Their feedback just get ignored by BMW Malaysia management... probably their accountants and finance department have done the calculation and customer satisfaction is not in the financial consideration. And nobody sue them before perhaps for sludge build up. In the US I would guess things like would have led to class action law suit. [/QUOTE]
