Sounds about right, Greg. Thinking if I do it too fast, then the free one is going to be about 8,000 miles from that one. Might want to wait just a bit past 2,000. Then after that, I plan to pay for one about half way between the free ones.

Why? If it was necessary for the good of the motor, wouldn't BMW recommend it?
Because BMW/MINI only have to worry about the motor for the period of the warranty. I have to worry about it for many years after that. And I've never believed it's okay to leave the break in oil in for 10-15K miles.
And I don't believe in 10K miles between changes, will be paying for the oil changes I have done half way between the free ones.
Price of oil changes every year or so... well worth the peace of mind to me !

I'm not going to specifically swap out the factory oil, but I am going to changed the oil every 5k miles, so i will have to pay for every other one....
I have had several 100k miles+ people tell me to change the oil/filter every 5k, run the motor like it should be(i.e., HARD), and they will last a very long time...
And I agree with you regarding cost....my Mini dealer charges $90 for syn oil and filter change....well worth it to me...the supplies alone would cost me around $60, so I am paying $35 labor....well worth the price.

Yup. Sorry, I meant Netflix streaming. I forget some people still use their DVD service too.
