next service after the first 2000 km run-in service

[Color]

I've reached about 9000 km's and the computer says I still have 10000 do go until the first service. However the oil service indicator is lit, so I guess it's about time to get an oil change. I also checked out the oil and it's a bit less transparent than after the 2000 km service and does not feel completely smooth, so I guess the motor would be better off with some new blood.

How many M owners have had an oil change inbetween the 2000 km service and the first service as indicated by the computer?

Be careful not to get the dealer to stamp the book if it has an unscheduled oil service, sometimes dealers wrongly assume that you've got the service intervals wrong, I lost out last week for this very reason

:scratchhead: I don't recall anything about an oil service indicator :scratchhead:
...are you sure it's not the oil level/pressure warning?

& yes I change mine between service intervals.

This is the oil service indicator, to the left of the number indicating distance left to next service.



Actually I just realized by reading the manual that I have had a confusion regarding this indicator. I thought it meant to indicate a needed oil service inbetween the normal intervals. But what it really indicates is what type of service the next one is (oilservice or inspection). So I stand corrected - by myself 8)
