This thread really needs to be stickied....
I'm also just so surprised that these cars really don't need much maintenance. I'm at 55k and keep thinking there is some big service I am supposed to do.

I am changing it myself every 6 months. Honestly it is very easy...Like you mentioned with a 12:1 compression ratio I am not taking any chances. If this engine had zero issues I would wait for a year or follow the BMW bull shiz schedule.. ...However, as we all know the S65 is like a stripper, it looks and sounds beautiful but it has issues ..

For those of you that do your maintenance when the time comes could you please post what products you use. Does not matter if it is OEM or aftermarket. Possible a link where to pick up these items.

Id add battery to the list- every 3-4 years. I know the system tells you when to replace but I tend to do this proactively.

Never had to replace a battery in a 3 year old car. I know BMWs have a ton of electronics but I think that is overkill. Unless you are in a subzero environment with a lot of cold starts

Disclaimer: Use these recommendations at your own risk. I'm not responsible if something goes wrong.
I do all my own maintenance and here are the parts that i've used or plan to use. Spark plugs - NGK 4471 LKR8AP Engine Oil - Mobil 1 0w40 Engine Oil filter - OEM Air Filter - Macht Schnell air filter that I clean with KN oil filter cleaner and re-oil with KN filter oil Brake Pads - Akebono Euro Ceramics (EUR918 + EUR919). There are numerous options for brake pads, i chose these because of the reduced brake dust. The performance is slightly less than OEM Transmission Oil - Redline MTL Differential Oil - OEM Brake Rotors - I haven't been able to find a decent OEM replacement so mostly likely I will go with OEM unless I end up upgrading them. Battery - Duralast Platinum Model: H8-AGM Coolant - OEM

Out of curiosity, should the DCT fluid be changed every 30k like the manual transmission?
Also, are there any (safe/exceed OE) alternatives to the OE BMW DCT fluid? TIA |

Bro. If you don't replace your muffler every 15k miles, you'll flood the headlight fluid reservoir.
