[QUOTE="Schwepps, post: 334226, member: 3592"] That is a ridiculous indicator as far as I'm concerned. All oil blenders recommend max 12 months for fully-synth. I don't have any experience with BMW dealers/BMWM on this issue because I change the oil+filter every 6 months whether under BSRI or not. But I don't get the feeling that they would refuse to BSRI at 12 months. With my W211, when I forgot to do my 6 monthly and took it in at 10 months, the service indicator hadn't come up yet, but my regular SC said: "Sir, why did you wait so long to come in? 10 months is too long sir. Don't always have to wait for the indicator, just come in." This was still warranty service mind! :) [/QUOTE]
