Seemed a little high, but this guy is serious and knows what he is talking about, he is the shop foreman afterall.

I know that guy too. He's probably the only good guy at that dealership.
My question is; if the M burns 1 liter of oil every 1000km and the car recommends oil changes every 15000km (or whatever according to the way the car is driven), won't the car be without oil by the time you get an oil change? I mean is it the responsibility of the owner to keep filling the car up with oil?
BTW, I only have 3990km on my car but I plan on doing the oil change every 5-7K and not follow the recommended oil change schedule.
