Dealer i got car from uses Shell which i believe BMW have switched to. Closer to home Dealer uses Castrol, which wasn't as good as my above but has probably gone over to Shell now. What ever Brand you prefer- Phone their Tech. Dept. and they will tell you the best oil for your car, safe than sorry. I just get Oil Filter from Dealer Parts Section, cost around $32, not cheap but convenient. My recommended Oil Change Service is every 2 Years, cost $200 BUT if i want Changed the following Year with my Scheduled Service it will cost me $350 because it's not in their schedule for an oil change. Why I will be doing own changes soon. If you are intending to keep your X1, I recommend Premimum Fuel and using the best oil, replacing every year. RAMPS - I just got from Repco. Brand is Scepter Pro Ramps, Heavy-Duty AND most Important for me 250mm Wide as most are not wide enough to take my Std. 225mm Tyres. Sorry for long drawn out reply But everything helps. |

They do say if you don,t use your car much or Stop Start and Short trips you should consider shorter Oil Changes. I live in Country but if I was in City would probably take it for a run on the Freeway once or twice a Month. |
