richd Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 just brought to dealer and got a 12k service... is my next oil change @ 15k? Link to comment
outpost22 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 The next service should be at 15K (actually 18K in the book I think), but by you, not the dealer. Very simple to do, especially if you use K&N oil filters with the nut on the bottom. Makes removal of the oil filter a snap. Your actual service interval is at I believe 18K according to BMW schedule. An RT oil change takes about 20 minutes to do if you're not in a hurry. And WHERE did you find a 1100RT with 12K on it?

Boffin Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 just brought to dealer and got a 12k service... is my next oil change @ 15k? BMW quote 6K miles intervals for oil changes. Some have sent oil samples off for analysis in the past and the results of those suggest that 6K is conservative for most of us and letting the oil sit in the bike for twice that is not the end of the world - though I would not reccomend that.

boatzo Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Sounds like a great find, you will have many many miles left to go. I am at 93k now on my 99RT and still going great. Welcome to the group. Link to comment
