Hibernating M3
Well my M has been hibernating since December and already called the dealership about it and said I should be fine till my 15K service oil service or when my display says to change my oil. Anyway, just had my break-in service done early Nov. Just wanted to know since my car has been sitting for 4 months for winter without a heater in the garage if I should pay for a oil change anyway since its been sitting there for so long. Plus its reached -30's to plus temps in this crazy oil province. I know its synthetic oil by reading other threads but just wanted to know other ppl's thoughts if I should just drive it till the next recommended change or just get it changed now?

I checked with three different dealers over the weekend, they averaged around $420 (tax included). Oh well, guess I'm sticking with the scheduled engine oil change...

I think you might find that includes the engine air filter as that was called when Parkview initially called it up on the computer.The air filter was not changed on my car at that time.

That could be right. I only asked the dealers what an oil change would cost.

I know, I when they quoted me $400 when the oil is less than $200, and so they read the line items to figure out why it was so much.
