How Often Do I Need to Change My BMW's Oil?

Changing your BMW's oil depends on a variety of factors like the vehicle's age, time between oil changes, type of oil, and overall driving conditions. The age old 3,000 miles standard is outdated! Today's engines use modern lubricates that can get between 5,000 and 7,500 miles between oil changes.If your BMW's engine calls for full-synthetic motor oil, then you can get up to 15,000 miles between oil changes. We cannot determine engine oil condition by color, so follow the factory maintenance schedule for oil changes.

Specific oil is required for your make and model of BMW to satisfy the performance standards set by the API, ACEA, and/or ILSAC, as well as adhering to any stipulations set up by the engine manufacturer or automaker. It also must have the proper SAE viscosity grade.BMW details these stipulations in your vehicle owner's manual, and our auto repair mechanics will equip you with information on your vehicle's approved oil specifications.

Conventional Oil:

 
• Many motorists prefer the least expensive conventional motor oil, especially when they're not consistently traveling under severe conditions, such as operating on pot-hole filled roads, wet roads, lots of short trips, towing heavy loads, and driving in extreme cold or hot weather.

High Mileage Oil:

 
• Specifically produced for vehicles that have driven over 75,000 miles. It upholds engine longevity, reduces oil leaks, and aids in reducing oil burn-off.

Synthetic Blend Oil:

 
• This mix between synthetic oils and conventional ones helps protect and increase performance compared to regular conventional oil. This is a good choice for motorists operating in extreme driving conditions, but not as competent as a full synthetic oil.

Synthetic Oil:

 
• A.K.A. "Full Synthetic Motor Oil". This motor oil is developed to provide the highest levels of protection and performance. There is an ever increasing list of vehicle manufacturers that require it today, see if yours is one of them.

Old Cars Vs New Cars | Recommended Oil Change Intervals

It's common for modern cars to require fewer trips to the mechanic for maintenance than previously. This is due to the fact that they use a multi-grade, full-synthetic, low-viscosity, synthetic-blend, or resource-conserving oils that minimize friction and increase fuel economy.

Oil Change Intervals For Older BMW Cars

Older BMW's oil change intervals are linked with mileage, and have two methods of preservation, one for BMW's driven in "ordinary" conditions and another for drivers operating in "extraordinary circumstances." To get into the second group, your BMW must be driven under one or more of the following conditions:

 
• Hauling heavy loads or towing a trailer
 
• Constant stop-and-go driving (AKA City Driving)
 
• Primarily brief trips that are around 5 miles or fewer
 
• Extremely cold, hot, or dirty climates

If you're driving in one or more of these extraordinary circumstances, then be sure to get it serviced within the suggested schedule intervals chart.

Oil Change Intervals For Newer Cars

With technology continuing to advance, newer BMWs are outfitted with oil-life monitoring systems that take into account the actual running conditions of your vehicle. This system will know when it is time for an oil change and notify you via a message on the dashboard. Long gone are the days of having to remember intervals based solely on mileage and time; as these new machines track exactly what kind of service they need. Owner's manuals also often leave out severe use recommendations because this modernized process can handle such occasions accordingly.

With modern engines being this efficient, oil changes come more seldom. Most modern BMW engines only utilize less than a quart of oil between changes. This means most BMWs only need as little as a quart for every 600 to 700 miles. 

Upholding to the appropriate oil levels will help in sidestepping expensive auto repairs; your new-car warranty may not cover wear & tear on your engine resulting from inadequate levels of oil. Many automakers suggest an oil change every 12 months if you're only driving locally. They still recommended changing out your vehicle's oil even if the check engine light has yet to light up.

Monitoring plus proper maintenance for your BMW's oil levels is important for long-term health. You can prevent your engine from producing too much heat by being consistent with BMW oil changes and keeping it lubricated. Older oil creates wear and tear on the engine and eventually halts it from functioning properly, which may limit the longevity of your vehicle.
