How often should the oil be changed in a 35d?

Dealer says every 10k miles but i do it every 7500, some people do it around 5000. I think 7500 is a save bet, thats what im going with in my 35d.
I used Pennzoil Euro L 5w30.

Just did an oil change on my 8/2011 35d. The oil filter canister lid is 32mm. I couldn't get 1 1/4" socket on there but I had a 32mm one kicking around for some reason.
Oil level was right below the MAX mark on the dipstick before the drain with oil temperature around 81-84C. The oil level page on the iDrive monitor was at MAX. I pit a little less than 7 Liters of oil back in. With oil temperature around 75-78 and after about eight miles of driving, oil level was below the MAX line around 7/8 and the iDrive displayed a level representative of that level. I will continue checking it. Drained Mobil 1 ESP 5W30 and put in BMW TwinPower Turbo 5W30. Before these I used the Castrol EDGE Professional OE 5W30.

Are we sure we’re not confusing quarts with liters (8 quarts = 7.57 liters)?
FWIW my most recent oil change came in liter containers. Funf Dreisig |

7.0+ liters every time. I open the fill cap and pull the filter before draining the sump. I let it drain for over 30 minutes or close to an hour if I'm in no rush.
6.5 liters in, let it warm up a little, drive around the block and then check. Usually it's 1/2 to 3/4 on the dipstick. I add the rest of the liter bottle and then drive it. Check again and 90% of the time I need to add another 0.5 liter. To check the dipstick, I use the same method I use for my E39 M5 because I know no better. Maybe that's wrong. The Mobil 1 ESP 5W30 comes in liter bottles. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk

While looking for Valvoline 5W40 MST at my local WM (Raleigh, NC), I stumbled across Penzoil Platinum Euro L 5w30 (LL-04 and MB 229.51 approved oil). Best part it was in stock and $22 for 5 Qt jug.
Valvoline MST is usually $6.98/qt, but never available in store. I usually order on line and pick up the same day. |
