Hello all,
I spoke to one of the independent BMW shop in Houston for (7500 miles) oil + filter change and he asked me which one am I looking for. I have no idea there are various types of oil services. He explained that there are essentially 2 types presumably recommended by BMW (really ???).
Intermediate Oil Service (O/F) - every 5000miles
Oil and Safety Service (O/S) - every 20000miles
Now, I am guessing BMW will do Oil and Safety Service for free every year or whenever car tells and I am,also, assuming they will do oil + filter change as well. Am I right?
I have yet to see these recommendation from BMW - Are these intervals applicable for newer 2011 535i as well ?
Please help me --I am little bit confused.
Btw, he said he will charge me $108 for Oil+filter change. Sounds reasonable - is it not?
Thanks a LOT...you guys are awesome and very helpful :beerchug::beerchug:.
