BMW 4-Series Oil Service
Engine oil is an essential part of BMW’s service. It protects the engine and helps prevent knocking. Oil helps to keep the engine clean by carrying debris to the oil filter. It also prevents engine corrosion. BMW customers place high standards on the quality of their vehicles and demand exceptional after-sales service.
BMW 4-Series service schedules vary from model to model. You should check your owner’s manual or a trusted automotive facility to get an accurate maintenance schedule for your vehicle. Some BMWs come with Condition Based Services, which alert you when your car needs a service. These features allow you to schedule service before it becomes necessary and ensure the best possible performance.
The manufacturer’s recommendations for changing engine oil are based on mileage, and it is best to get it changed every 5,000 miles or so. However, some models may need a longer interval. You should also check the manufacturer’s manual to learn more about your vehicle’s particular needs. Oil change intervals are essential to engine care and can save you time and money by avoiding unexpected problems.
