I bought the car from ab premium used. When i bought the car, its mileage was 10k++ km. The salesman told me the car has had an oil change circa 7k++  km and recommends that i change the oil every 10k km rather than following the suggested service interval specified by the car computer.  But i need to pay for it since bsri doesn't cover early service.I googled around and found out that the f10 used condition based service (cbs) where advanced algorithms used data provided by sensors to calculate when is the optimum service interval based on our usage pattern. So the next oil change would be around 28k++ km according to the car's computer. This means the oil change interval is 20k km.What are your take on this? Should i stick with 20k or change the oil every 10k and pay for every other service until bsri expires (btw my bsri is 5 yrs). I googled and have come to conclusion that most synthetic oil is good for abt 10k miles. Thats 18,000 in kilometers so im incline to follow the computer's advise instead of the salesman's.  Unless someone can give me a good reason why i should change the oil earlier. I mean concrete and logical reason(s), NOT "better-safe-than-sorry" or "kereta-mahal2-buleh-beli-takkan-tukar-minyak-itam-pon-berkira" type of arguments <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" />p</p></blockquote><p></p>
