| How long between services? Hi all, I just received my first Mini service from the dealer (for free!). However, I am at 11,500 miles! When I picked it up from the dealer, it now says 15,400 mile before the next change/service. You hear so many ads that state change every 3,000 miles. I understand that Mini has a detector that determines when the oil is dirty however another 9-10K miles sees like alot! I just want to get maximum life from my engine! How many miles does everyone else get? Thanks, --Steve |

| well, most (many people) just follow what the indicator says... i done by first service by the dealer at around 15000km. the 2nd one the computer says is at around 35000km.. (can't remember excatly) howeveer, i myself change the oil at about every 5000kms or so....... i would guess that there are many people that follows the guide from mini without problems...... 05 PW/B chilli. finally here. |

You can reset oil service indicator if you wish. I have reset mine once and it started counting back down from 15,000 miles to indicate when the oil change was due. At this point, I have just under 63 K miles and have been changing my oil every 5000 miles +/- 200. I have never really thought about reseting it other than at the 15K interval.
