so i just paid a dealership 130 dollars for an oil change, wanted to know if the write up for the 535 is the same for the 525, i was told the oil change was expensive because it had to be "vacuumed' out and some complicated way but.....i guess not. So next time i do it, how do i reset the computer? or do i just not worry about that? and if i install a K&N air filter, do i have to re-map the computer or anything? or just install and go?

yes sure can . the micro filters two of. sit just below the wiper arms when you have the bonnet open. one on each side of the bulkhead.(thay are under black plastic covers)

They filter out all the muck smog pollen or fine particle that would other wise enter the cabin. when they are badly blocked and dirty your fresh air coming into the cabin of the car is probably a lot less. air con works better when they are new.

i think they should be chaged at 30 k but i would suggest they are done sooner. maybe 10-15 k
hope this helps.
