My experience with other cars I've bought new and the respective dealers (Lexus/Infiniti), is that they always give me a hard time when I try to schedule a first oil change at 1000 miles. I know enough about engines and oils that it makes me feel better to get the factory fill out early on, I don't need a lecture from service about why it's not needed, blah blah. I also like to change the differential oil within 5000mi, and the dealerships I've had experience with flat out refuse to change it before the scheduled interval, which really frustrates me as I have to seek other places that may not be qualified, especially with a car such as the E60. So can anyone share their experience with similar situations? I guess I would like to know so I have alternative options when the time comes.

Don't look for change them because they will charge you around 1K $ and you'll regret it

FYI: Gearbox and differential oil is lifetime lasting
