I paid for oil changes between each warrantied one with our 135i, but have decided to skip doing that with the X1 as there's little supported reasoning for doing it.
I don't quite get it why not do it too with the X1? lol..

By the way, they use Castrol brand right? I guess it makes sense why its so highly price tagged -- synthetic..

Will they reset the original service due (at 10k miles I believe?) if I decided to change the oil voluntarily? If not, then I would be better off with non-synthetic oil don't you think?
