Jump to postCar manufacturers aren’t entirely to be trusted on intervals. BMW, for example, says that some automatic transmissions have “lifetime transmission fluid.” So they obviously just lie whenever it amuses them.

Jump to postI am old enough (68) to remember when 3000 miles was the recommended max for oil changes and filters in cars and light trucks. Modern engines are built to go much longer between oil changes. BMW oil changes are always recommended with filter changes, so the interval is naturally longer anyway. Do t...
