Dealer: Oil change only every 15,000 miles?!

The deal with the BMW and the 15k intervals is based on the fact that that car has a 7 quart sump capacity and the oil BMW uses is highly detergent and has the ability to fight acid formation over the long haul. In Europe, "extended" drains are more of the norm, they don't buy into the 3K mile crap like Americans do. You'll also see a push in this country for longer drains over the next several years as well.

heh, I was just waiting for someone to realize that the oiling systems on Nissan <> BMW. Apples and oranges. That sump system is really cool, although they make changing your own oil kind of a hassle.
