    Break in period? Oil type and intervals...

    I have an 11 GT, and even though I did not need to, I changed the oil at 1.000 miles and on the next change, will switch over to a full synthetic and will change it every 6 months or 7500 miles. Our BMW calls for an oil change every year or around 15.000 miles.
