TPMS and Tire Rotation
Simple newbie question :
When I rotate my tires, will that require a TPMS reset ?

I have seen other posts indicating it will require a reset. Maybe it varies?

Mine tells me to, but I usually have them balanced also.

Maybe... But it's not something that requires a trip to the dealer. It's a simple DIY, push the button on the turn signal operation...

how often are you rotating them? with other auto's i was every other oil change (every 6-7000) but since now its every 10,000 miles for that then when?????? every 5,000?

yes, but i think 8k miles is too long for a turbo engine to run the oil
i got the extended maintenance, so mini does an oil/filter change every 8k and i do an oil/filter change when the OBC counts down 1/2 way, ie to 4k miles
oil is cheap ... engines are expensive

maybe in a base model, but I agree that 10k oil changes are bad business, esp as engines get older. I'm shooting for every 4-5k miles.
