Hey guys,
So one of the most important things I have been told with a s/c M3 is to make sure oil changes are done often. An easy and inexpensive way to be able to see how things are running is to get an oil sample analysis done. This was my first oil test but I plan on getting it done a few times a year if I hold onto the car.

Timeline of my car...

10/2010 2k miles: AA Gen 1 Level 2 installed

09/2012 13k miles: Bought the car (3rd owner)

02/2013 22k miles: AA Gen 2 Level 3 installed

I have always had oil changes done every 5-6k miles. The report says 5k miles for this particular sample, but this was a quick estimate at the time it was being sent out. 5,500 miles is more accurate. After looking through my paperwork my last oil change prior to this was when my upgrade went on at 22,300 miles. This oil sample and oil change was done on 04/26 with 27,800 miles. I now have 29,300 miles on the car 2 weeks later. It gets driven a lot as you can see.

Anyway, here's a copy of the report. For those comparing it with others, 5500 is a more accurate figure as mentioned above.

Thanks to AutoCouture in Fair Lawn, NJ for taking care of the oil change and sample test. Excellent service as usual...we all know that by now
