and bmw every 12k so the speedo service is wrong ?

I will be doing the oil on the new engine every 3000 miles or every year from now

I highly recommend doing the oil and oil filter on an annual basis and the gearbox and diff every 2 years - regardless of mileage.

That's how I maintain mine anyway.
