You can try Valvoline or Castrol; they are often priced better and still provide good quality oil for our X1s. Just check they meet BMW’s standards!

Every 7,500 miles seems standard. I’ve also heard some people do it every 5,000 miles for added security. Any thoughts?

So many opinions on this! But I agree with sticking to regular changes. Remember, synthetic oil does last longer but can be pricey upfront.

Don’t forget about regular maintenance checks too! Keeping your filters and fluids in good condition is essential.

Totally agree! I switched to synthetic at my last change. The engine feels smoother for sure, and I’m hoping it’ll last longer too.

I’ve been using synthetic oil for years in my vehicles, and it does make a noticeable difference. Also, don’t skip the oil filter change!

I was reading somewhere that even though it’s pricier, synthetic oil can save you money in the long run due to the extended intervals. Anyone else find that true?

Definitely! Plus, it’s great for the environment. And who doesn’t enjoy a clean engine, right?

I like to think of regular oil changes as a spa day for my car! Keeps it happy and running smoothly. Anyone else feel that way?
