Oil change prompt too early?
I currently have 7800 miles on my G80 M3 Comp, so I've put 6500 miles on it since the break-in service. I'm getting a notification that an oil change is due in 1700 miles which would put the service at an 8200 mile interval.
I'm about to head out on a 2400 mile road trip, almost entirely highway miles, and was planning on having the car serviced after as I'd still be under 10k miles between services when I get back (would have ~8900 miles between services). Would it make sense to just wait to do that or should I try to get it serviced at my home dealer before I leave? |

The oil change interval is 10k or 1 year which ever comes first and depending on how hard you drive the car.
Break in service doesn’t count towards the 10k/1 year oil service.

Why are countries different with same engines/cars??? I am tempted to change mine at the 9k mark ie half of uk interval. Here we seem to have no time constraint that is stated at least.

Happened to me to. I think what happens is that they don't reset the oil change alerts at the break in service because it doesn't pop up

Well I need to get my rear tires replaced soon anyway so I'll just double up on what I need to get serviced! Thanks y'all.

So, you're falling short, my guess is, the car doesn't get driven enough to get to that threshold. I have 10,174 miles on my car, and the oil change says 98 miles. My car was a year old, October 19th. I'll get it done, Monday or Tuesday.
