My first oil/filter change

Recently acquired an '16 M4. Had the dealer do a oil change at !5k based on 12 months interval. I wanted to do a self change at 5k and then the dealer on the normal 10k cycle. Did it this afternoon and what a piece of cake. Race ramps helped but could not have been simplier. Much easier than my vintage BMW's! Happy camper.

how did the oil look?

Was thinking about doing the same just to help maintain the engine better and something for me to do that doesn't require me emptying my wallet lol

Also isn't it long life oil which is 2 year interval?

I thought the oil looked pretty dark. The recommended interval is 10k or 12 months. To me it is cheap insurance. Self oil/filter change about $86.
