xDrive Oil Stress
The xDrive AWD system adds parasitic load to the engine — especially when the front wheels engage during cornering or slippage. On Malaysian roads with frequent starts and stops and temperature peaks of 38°C+, the 10,000 km interval is the correct ceiling. Do not stretch to 15,000 km even if CBS permits it.
