Oil change question

bmwzimmer · 03-22-2010, 12:59 PM

If running Meth, it's generally a good idea to change oil every 2500-3000 miles.

Is it ok to just drain the oil and add fresh oil without Having to change the filter every time? New filter would be installed at 15k miles.

Thoughts?

With meth it is ideal to change it every 3K. I just got done with mine, it only had 2.5K on it (4 months though) and it was black as night. You might as well do the filter too, order a dozen from getbmwparts.com. They are not very much. Also using a good oil is essiential, I use royal purple 0w-40.
