Analysis of three used oil samples in my quest to find the perfect oil change interval.
NOTE:
A few things I forgot to mention in the video:
1. I've never needed to add oil between changes. This engine doesn't seem to burn or leak a significant amount of oil.
2. Regardless of how much you drive, the oil should be changed once per year to remove moisture and contaminates. OR SHOULD IT? Check out Part 2 for the test!
3. Every motor is a little different depending on its health and how it has been maintained. The results gathered in this video may not be repeatable in all BMW M52 engines.
