There is no "correct" answer and no one is going to be "right."
If all engineers and manufacturers agreed as to the specific mileage to change an oil fill we would all know by now. 
We can all agree that if the oil is older than a year, change it. Let's leave it at that. |
Elk, I agree with you, man. I'm just presenting a viewpoint (and data, as meager as you think it is) - - one that is different than what some seem to think and advocate (that oem's oci's are crap and that you have to shorten them if you want your car to last). I'm not on a crusade to assert that everyone MUST adhere to BMW's oci. And I'm responding to a question. The questioner, and others who have viewed this thread, can make up their own mind. Let them decide if the data is overstated, and how they want to proceed. I agree that people can change their oil whenever they want and live happily ever after.
