I just had the oil change not because it hits 15,000 mls but 1 yr mark. I cannot notice any different "feel" after oil change, then I check the idrive. The oil change has no record of oil did change. Does yours has oil change date record on your idrive?

i-drive only shows when (i.e. 12,000 mls) the NEXT oil change is due not when the last one was done. your mileage may not have been reset! i never have felt a diffence in performance after an oil change.

I had my oil changed because it had not been for a year, they told me I would have to come back for another oil change when it came due, took it in last week and they surely did another change just 3 months later...

Also, you're not going to feel a difference with an oil change.
