    Oil change after 1100 miles - ???

    As per title. My car is due a service but has only done 1100 miles since the last oil change. Should I change the oil again anyway or not? If not I would just get all the other bits done on the Insp II. Am I just stinting trying to get out of the oil change????

    Car is under warranty hence the service.

    Secondly if the oil was not two years old would this have any more of a bearing on whether you would change the oil.

    Advice appreciated.

    I think you'll find that if any warranty claim is questioned later, the service book will be copied and sent to BmWuK and if the served intervals are outside of the required times or miles, the warranty claim may be refused.

    I had to copy the service book and they checked with dealers before they carried out major claim on my car.
