BG Performance Oil Change?

My indy recommends this, especially for BMW's that did the 15k interval's. I bought mine used with 62k. Most of this oil changes were within 7.5k, but a couple were at 15k.

What do you guys think?

Looks like a waste of money.

My mech adds BG MOA with my oil changes; it's a friction reducer/anti oxidation additive. I researched and it looked like a genuinely good product. I've got 260k on the clock so I'll do anything to help the old girl out. Having said that, there's a lot of snake oil out there, and even the same company can sell BS right next to something that does work.

My car has 378,800 miles. 4 oil changes at 18,000+; 4 oil changes at 17,000+; 4 oil changes at 16,000+; and since 221,000 miles... 18 oil changes at 10,000 miles. Just change the oil with good quality synthetic 5W-30 LL-01 spec oil and a MANN HU-816x or OE oil filter and the engine will last you for a very long time. If your car had 15,000 OCI with LL-01 oil and an OEM filter, it will not need any BG oil change.

I don't do my own car work and my mech always writes a 5k interval. Is that too often?

If you drive 5K per year, then no. Otherwise, yes.

Way too often unless you drive 5k a year. 12-15k or 1 year, whichever come first so long as you use LL-01.
