When is the first oil change?

I drove about 3000 miles and thought a light would come on. It didn't. Then I heard from my friend that it's 5000 miles for the first oil change and I'm almost near it and was wondering if a oil change light would pop up? I know it does in my friend's M45.

When is the right time to change the oil?

I believe your maintenance notice will pop up at 3750 miles.

I don't think the maintenacne light comes on unless you set it? I did mu first LOF at 1500 miles. I usually do the first early toget ride of anything. And after that every 2500-3000 like clock work. But I'm a little nuts.. LOL

Need to set OC intervals in the maintenance function of the DIC ... dealer is supposed to do that with you on delivery.

+1 - it won't come on unless it's set.

It comes on at 3750, typically done by the dealer before you drive the car off the lot.
