[QUOTE="ICEMAN 68, post: 44647, member: 17"] well DD yup i've been changing my engine oil every month as mainly due to a high mileage clocking factor and also to maintain a healthy engine compression..... If you notice my lifters are going hay wire and there are several had recommended me for a TOP Overhaul but then there was this particular Sifu that told me about this matter..... So far i've clocked 20K over upon this period to test the efficiency of this practice ... and hell it's paying off good... as for the oil filter ,i've only changed it regularly during the first 3 months as there was lotsa carbon composits that was build up there ..... once after the 3rd month you may be able to see that ya oil filter will be clean and then you can change ya oil filter at every 2nd or 3rd oil change...... Well i'm doing this is mainly to enhance my engine durability and also to avoid a large amount of carbon building up in my engine as what they say that, BMW Engines can withstand till 10K and then only service is a pure crap... i think this formula is only for those new cars clocking about 120K ~ 150K and after that every thing will be falling apart and thats where you may be encountering one of the most famous problem ENGINE OVER HEATING due to burn gasket or the cooling system screwed up... Try feeling the drained engine oil when you perform ya service ...how does it feels like .... like water and sand right ?? so what does it shows when you feel the sand thinggy in the oil .... that's the carbon composits and the water feeling is the voscosity that's been fully used.... .... Note : have you notive that it only takes about 5 days or so and when you check ya dip-stick you may experince that the new engine oil that you've change is already turning BLACK !! Note : this is only a personal experince or just my 2 cent comment.... c-sqyare :- i don't travel that much...even if i've clocked 500 km a month too i must change it no matter what ... flash :- ke ke i'm not an o.p.e.c member but then that's my preference as to avoid visiting a mechanic always or having a break down frequenly... Vanguish :- well it's up to individual as you may follow this method for the first 30~45 days and then later once you see a healthy engine you may then opp to 60 days or so .... [/QUOTE]
