Also, there isn't a set mileage to change the oil. The ECU in the car decides when it's time to change based on how the car was driven. Not sure exactly how it calculates it, but when you get down to below a couple thousand miles left before an oil change, you'll see it move around depending on your driving style. |

Also the oil is set on a specific mileage and time, unlike your brakes. Your brakes also have recommended mileage and time frame but if the brake wear sensor detects the pad is to worn, it'll shorten the time frame appropriately. The oil service interval is set on a schedule based on your specific vehicle. The interval is coded into your FA and it does not fluctuate based on drive style. All the computer measures is if you are at the right amount of fluid or if you are low on fluid.

Like I said before. There are only sensors that measure the oils levels to make sure it's not to full or to low, Incase there's leak that you don't know about and are risking running your engine on low oil. The CBS is set only to to keep track of service intervals. The brakes are the only part on CBS that actually has a sensor to measure the pads so the hard you brake the faster they rundown and the cbs will adjust he brake interval accordingly. Your comments intrigued me and just to make sure I did some research on ISTA+ and that confirmed my information. Some other models or maybe newer cars with updated clusters and iDrive version, may in fact have these capabilities but I have not researched nor experienced that for myself and I have not heard anything from anyone else. In the end, it is maybe recommended to shorten your oil interval if you drive hard and beat on the car, but the CBS or iDrive will not measure those factors. If you drive like that, frequently check your oil manually from the dip stick and check the condition of the oil... as advised in the article you linked above.

Sorry man, you're flat wrong. I was near the 1000 mile mark before my oil service was due. I took a long trip (700 miles) and when I got back my oil needed to be changed in... ... 1000 miles. It takes into account driving style and conditions. Just like as noted in the article:

And again, you need to brush up on reading comprehension. The factors they're talking about in that particular sentence are ambient temperature and driving terrain. |

Please check out the fourth paragraph in the attached PDF of this thread regarding CBS intervals:

Could alternate by changing the oil myself at 5000 miles then allowing the dealer to change it at 10,000 miles so there is a record of oil change for warranty

Receipts for purchase of filter and oil should be enough for warranty. If you are able to change your own oil you'll be better off doing it yourself. Too many service techs at dealerships just don't care and so few diesels come through that it's likely they'd put the wrong oil in..

Hi, is there anything special when changing the oil filter? Do you install the new filter first and then tighten the cap over it, I see the filter has little pipe which has to go in some hole in the housing I guess.

Yes. You remove the filter, then you drain the oil from the pan. Then you replace the tube, o-rings, and filter and refill the oil to the correct capacity. If you need the ISTA instructions and torque specs PM and I can send them!

Put the new filter in the filter housing first; then put the filter housing back on the car. Just spin it lightly until it lines up.

The filter reservoir doesn't need lubrication, it only needs to be there to hold a filter. I don't see any reason to prefill it, just let the oil pump do that...
