I thought the oil was fitted for life? No need to change?

So Bmwoobleu think...changing it after the first 600 miles is enough so they say

But changing it every 12,000 miles (or after a submersion in water) is a very good idea

and u should use castrol saf-xo which is 75-90 but the yanks use 75-140 instead because they can not get saf-xo there.

but u can get it in the UK from opie oils in redruth and if u register on the site put ukgser as the club and u get a discount!
