Hello, I was just wondering on a few things, What type on fuel injector cleaner is the best,(BMW brand)?and how often. What about changing oil. If I dont put alot of miles on yearly, should I still change every 6 months or yearly? Lastly what type of lightbulbs to get, I dont have the xexon, just the regular ones. Thanks Dave

Dave, I change my oil every 3-5k depending on the conditions I have been driving in. If I have tracked the car, it is changed sooner, or if it has suffered a lot if stop and go driving it gets changed sooner, for regular conditions and where the car is fully warmed up often you can go to 7k using synthetic. I use Mobil One in all my cars and love it.

I also use Redline SI-1 injector and fuel system conditioner. I use it as directed every third fill up or sooner, again depending on driving conditions. Chevron Techron is another good one to use.

Use silver (nickel) based Sylvania bulbs as Detrich stated. If your asking about headlamps I have no idea about your car.
