When converted it to miles 35,000 KM = 21747.991728 miles so just under a 22K for an OCI, must have some darn good synthetic oil in Germany...

High humidity here so I won't exceed 1 year for a change, but I drive enough that that is rare. I don't think I've ever pushed the oil change minder below 30% nor have I noticed anything other than a mileage based calculation, but my idle time is low and I don't do much stop and go so I can't be sure that wouldn't change if my driving habits did.

Mad Max had a blower, never changed his oil, never changed his dusty a$$ air filters, used dirty water for engine coolant, didnt rotate his tires ( think they were staggered anyway) , never rebuilt his carbs and used real shifty gas and his car never broke down. Heck of a vehicle!
