If you don't have the money to buy a brand new BMW, you *CERTAINLY DON'T* have the money to own a used one with 100, 000+ miles.😮

I thought 10, 000 miles was bad but 15, 000 miles is crazy

I was taught every 3, 000 years ago and that's what I stick too. More often is better it isn't going to hurt it.

I am living on dirt roads in South dakota. I change my full synthetic oil every 3000. No issues doing this.

5k mile oil changes will save you a ton fo headaches

I owned a BMW 740i years ago and almost like clockwork at 200, 000km, the plastic timing belt rails embrittled, broke apart and ran through the engine, while I was driving 100km/h on the highway. Yes, I'm in Canada. I was quoted between $4, 000 and $7, 000 CAD to fix it. It was the first and last BMW I ever owned. Many parts are plastic and need to be replaced regularly. Definitely not worth the money.

You gotta change your oil every 5k miles max. I talk about this on my channel as well... lots of good info out there on this!

I listened to Scotty and I got me a Toyota Tundra gas hog. Great truck😊😊

[anakinskywalker]

I don’t care what any manufacturer says. I tell
My customers to change it every 5, 000 miles. If they can’t be bothered with that then I tell them find another shop. If you can’t be bothered with regular maintenance don’t come to me expecting sympathy.

Scotty, on May 30th I purchased a 2005 Toyota Avalon Limited. The car is fully loaded with just about every option you can get and it is in IMMACULATE condition. When I purchased the car, the previous owner had just put new tires on it, changed the rotors and pads and did the oil. When I got to 3000 miles to change oil light came on, but when I checked the oil, it was still practically crystal clear with a slight tint of brown to it. So I went and put 6, 000 total miles on the car, and yesterday, when I got the oil changed, it was still in really good shape, but I wanted to get the car ready for the winter. I put a new battery on Saturday. the old owner told me that the battery was old and undersized for the car and it needed to be changed soon. It lasted me 5 months. I just changed the oil and now all I have to do is rotate my tires because the rear has only about 15% more tread than the front, but I live on a mountain in Pennsylvania and we get a lot more snow then most places and I would like as much tread as possible on my front drive tires. I was going to wait to 7500 miles to get to oil changed, but usually, the beginning of November is when we start to get some snow. So I just wanted to get it done before the weather got bad. But the car is AMAZING. It runs PERFECTLY and looks practically brand new. I found that one in a million car that people look for. Hopefully I have many years I'm driving this car. I would like to send you pictures if you have a Facebook or Instagram. I think you would be very impressed at the condition of the vehicle for being 19 years old

I changed my 1998 Mustang manual transmission V6 engine oil every 15, 000 miles.
A couple times it went 30, 000.
I quit driving the thing after 320, 000 miles and bought a Toyota Corolla but it's never had the head off.

Your channel is a source of inspiration and enjoyment. Keep it up, you're doing a great job!🐄⛏🙉

[frederickwoodard]

I have changed my oil on average of 10, 033 miles with no issues because I don’t go by engine oil, I go by engine oil filter. I go by a system of oil filter life ratio (OFLR)/road dirt ratio (RDR) it basically is how well the oil filter is filtering to how full of road dirt the filter is. It uses a little oil but, not anything above industry standards for an engine with more than 114K miles. 🙂

Hi Scotty, In Austria they nickname BMW's Bayerische Mist Wagens which translates to Bavarian Manure Wagons, which sums up BMW's very well.

Scotty, thank you for the hours of information and entertainment. Thank you for all the time you commit to your channel!

I was just a kid when my Dad bought a new 69' Pontiac Catalina. It had a 400 cu in engine with a 2 barrel
carburetor. One day it just quit when Mom was driving it home. It was only a quarter mile from home,
so we towed it home with our other car. Dad was working a turnaround, and didn't have time to work
on the Pontiac, so he got a ride to work, and Mom drove our other car. This was my First repair job!
I took it apart, and it had a Teflon timing gear on the cam! It stripped all the way around. I got a new
all steel timing set, installed it, and it ran like new. I was 14 and it was 1971. Ran for Years.

The 5.7l Hemi motor that is used in my Ram is known for having lifter failures resulting in the camshaft being annihilated, I change the oil and filter in my truck every 2000 miles. Sure the oil can last longer yet I'd rather spend 60 bucks at Walmart then whatever it'd cost to replace my motor, clean oil and regular maintenance is the answer to a long lasting engine in my opinion.

What's the difference between porcupines and BMWs? With a porcupine, the pricks are on the outside.

I’m using AMSOIL full synthetic with their filter changing every 4, 000 miles. Hope that works.
