    BMW 335i/ Valvoline synpower

    Just returned from the local import service center. They perform my 7500 mile oil change between the BMW 15,000 mile oci. They have always used BMW 5-30. Today my invoice had Valvoline Synpower 5-40. Is this ok in the 335i turbo?

    Spark Plug question for Navigator.

    Not an oil question. 100,000 mile service for the Navigator has first Spark Plug change. Truck is running great. Is there any downside to waiting longer, say 10,000k? Just very busy, and then vacation. Thanks
