most people like to change the oil every 3000 km. but only change the filter every other time. it's a good rule of thumb. it seems like you're changing the oil ALL the time though lol. keep atleast one wheel planted!!

I'm a commuter. I put 13K miles on my 636. I like to change oil and filter every 2000-3000 miles.

At 4000 I would definately change both now.

IMO i would change the oil filter EVERY TIME. whats $10.00 compared to a couple thousand for a motor? when im at the track all weekend for a couple weekends, i change it at 1,500 mi just road miles i change it at around 2,000-2,500 mi.
