I'm gonna call shenanigans. Nobody has ever been able to prove that anything has changed with M1. The samples I took last year look just like the ones I took in 2006 and say the oil is good to at least 10k in my 190D.
Loads of people are running extended changes with M1, you want to spend a whole bunch of time changing oil be my guest but I prefer to drive the thing... -Curt ________________________________ From: Kaleb C.
