Just wondering what service intervals do many here follow when using synthetic oil. 1st service (the 3,750mi one) I had them fill it w/ Mobil 1 5w-30. Next sceduled/recommended service is at 7,500 but I waited till 10,000 (which we just hit) to take it in again. On my BMW 528 I've been doing the Mobil 1 every 5k mi and plan to do the same w/ the X hence why waiting till 10k. I generally work on my own cars this being my 1st "new" car, I'd prefer to have dealer records for as much as possible maintaince wise.
So when I take it in tomorrow I'll have the 7,500mi service items done as well as an oil change w/ Mobil 1 again. When I hit 15,000 (and subsequent visits from there) do I do the service items closest to my actual milage? Or, should I be taking it in at the recommended intervals and just have them hold off on the oil and filter changes and do those myself at my 5k mi intervals?
