Re: Mobil 1 (archive)

Manuals always say to go too far between oil changes. We plan on changing the oil every 3000 miles or 5000 if we switch to a synthetic. In fact, the car was delivered with an oil change sticker from the dealer that said 3000 miles.

BMW pays for schedualed(sp?) services too. I go in between like most owner's do and cahnge the oil. Mobil 1 is one of the suppliers of BMW's Synthetic oil...all new Bimmers come with it from the factory. I just buy my own at BJ's and the dealer charges me $30 for a filter and oil change. My Lexus dealer does a similar thing.

I'll wait until the first 5,000 miles and then switch to Mobil 1.

I use Mobil 1 in all my other cars. Even my XJR came with Mobil 1 from the factory. I even use Mobil 1 ATF and MTF.

I can't find anything saying my new 3.0 will have Mobil 1 in it. Does anyone know? Has anyone switched?

Thnks!

Its not Mobil 1, and since they pay for the oil changes at 10,000 miles, I'm pretty sure it won't be Mobil 1 then, either.

My Corvette requires Mobil 1 (cooling properties) and I change it every 5,000 miles or so. The book says 10,000 miles (or one year), but the computer says earlier.

I'm very concerned about letting the X-type go all the way to 10,000, but what's the choice? Haven't read a lot on this one way or the other.

I still have a ways to go.
