I'd sent my car (1st time) to be serviced last 2 weeks, and the mech told me that he would recommend to change engine oil at 15000km max... preferably 10000km.He even showed me a picture of E46's engine block that had been dismantled to be serviced... the sight of carbon deposits inside really scared the s**t out of me... according to him, the guy followed AB's advice and kept on driving until 25000km. After a few times... the whole engine behaved just like maanly's... up to a point, couldn't be started at all. AB charged more than 20++k... he did it for RM17k!!! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" />My advice?? Change engine oil when your odometer strikes 10000km or 12000km the max... that is, not an expert's opinion... just my personal one.</blockquote>
