Flash and junk? Do you think your engine was made on the beach in India?
Oil just doesn't break down that fast and there are no random chunks floating around inside your engine.
My wifes Mini recommended service was at 15k miles. I tried getting them to do the oil change at 14k because we were about to go on a road trip and they laughed at me. They said don't worry even if you hit 20k and have a nice vacation.
People all still believe the hype from the 70's when they were just trying to sell more oil by telling everyone you had to get your oil changed every 3k. It's a crock. Relax people....
