If you drive a pre-owned BMW, you know what true driving thrills really feel like. Even a pre-owned vehicle with a few thousand miles under its belt still offers outstanding performance.
However, this doesn’t happen by accident; you play an important role in keeping your vehicle in great condition. Regular BMW service is vital, and oil changes have to be at the top of your list.
Why Are Oil Changes Important?
Without clean oil running through your engine, the moving parts under your hood won’t get the lubrication they need. In addition to hurting your engine’s performance, this also reduces your fuel economy. If you wait too long to change your oil, you could cause damage that may result in a costly repair or replacement.
When Should Oil Be Changed?
All vehicles – both new and pre-owned – need to have their oil changed on a regular basis. While your owner’s manual can give you more detailed information, the general recommendation is that oil should be changed every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. However, even if you don’t drive that much and it takes you a year to reach 10,000 miles, you don’t want to wait that long. Oil degrades over time whether it’s flowing through an engine or not, which is why it should be changed every six months.
