Hi,

I have a 2019 530e, and the car recently notified me to change the engine oil this September or 4400 miles later. I currently have 9400 miles on the dash.

As I rarely have the engine on, is it necessary to change the oil 4400 miles before it's due?

How often do you guys change the oil?

Any feedback is welcomed. Thanks in advance.

I think the interval may be different in different markets.
I'm the U.K. I had a f10 530d and that was 19000 miles or 2 years which ever came first. ( that mileage may be reduced if driven harder or in lots of shorter journeys)
Expensive authentic oil is used.

Thought it was shorter in other markets, different oil perhaps?

My g30 540 is the same here in the U.K. same mileage or length .

I usually follow the manufacturer's intervals, but I wasn't sure when to change oil on my 530e specifically because it's a PHEV

thanks for your input.

I think the interval notification is by date or miles.

I just purchased a 2018 530e and was able to see on carfax the last service was in June 2020 for an oil change at 30K miles, as soon as Jul 1 hit (@36K miles) the Oil change message came on with a month reference (Due June).

Even though the car had only been driven 6k miles (previous history shows 10k itervals)

Took it to Irvine BMW (what a rip off compared to Crevier, different story for a different time) and now it says oil change due in 9973 miles

Every 5k with lifetime kits from FCP Euro. The oil sees much more extremes with it constantly being on and off.

I do it every 1Y/10k miles exactly as BMW suggests. Zero reason to change it sooner.
