Sadly I do not buy into the whole syn. oils last longer and therefore you can go 12k to 15k in between oil changes. I call bullshit on that. I do agree that syn. oil is better and holds up longer then dino oil but we all know full well this is about money. If BMW with there 4 year 50k coverage on all service were to knock the miles on oil changes down to a reasonable 6k or even 8k, it would cost them a small fortune. This is about money plain and simple. I just had my E90 in for a fault code and said to them I am due for an oil change and my wiper blades are shot. They called back and said code is corrected. Your not due for an oil change for another month which would be a year and same for the wiper blades. I said check the wiper blades yourself they are shot streaking all over. He said, I know I checked and they are bad but you're not due. once again, MONEY.
