BMW Revises Recommended Oil Change Intervals to 10,000 Miles for 2014+ Models

BMW has changed its long time recommended oil change mileage intervals for all 2014 models and beyond. The changes apply to all vehicles produced from July 2013 on.

Previously, BMW recommended a 15,000 mile / 24 month Condition Based Service interval, but as of July 2013, the new basic interval will be every 10,000 miles / 12 months. This applies to both gasoline and diesel models.

The Z4 roadster, M5/M6 and ActiveHybrids have some special recommendations, which you can see in the announcement and charts below.

I guess there are a half year of E70s affected by this.

I've been wondering about the 24 month interval of the E70. During my 4 year included maintenance period, they did my oil changes once a year (I did only like 3k a year anyway). After that last year (4th), my condition based service calculation was 2 years after that point. I questioned board members and they said always do it every year. And so I have continued with once a year. I just find it odd that after 5 years of owning this vehicle, this is the 1st time I'm hearing it should've been 24 months. Even the indy shop said it could probably last 2 years but I had them do it anyway. And now new X5s are back to 12 months.

I'm sure everyone got their oil changes once a year when they were within the 4 year maintenance period, right?
