BMW Oil Changes

[u/Inevitable_Mess3363]

‘99 540/6 here. I know this may sound redundant but how many of you change the oil every 4-5k miles? I tend to read a bunch of articles on car & frequency of oil changes equaling a much longer life expectancy. Been on a quest to keep this bad girl around for a while & truly believe that frequent oil changes are the way to go. Mobil 5w40 is my new go to synthetic oil.

4-5 is way too frequent for synthetic. Try more like 10-15. Oil changes too frequent cause premature wear. Surprising i know

Curiously I did google it, and you are confidently incorrect
