For exact information on oil change intervals for your specific vehicle, we recommend consulting your Owner’s Manual. Thanks to advancements in engine technology and high performance oils, newer BMW vehicles are often designed for 10,000 mile oil change intervals. Older BMW vehicles may require more frequent oil changes.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual or speak with our knowledgeable BMW Service Advisors for an exact recommendation for your specific BMW vehicle. Another important fact to consider are that other factors can play a role in how frequently you should have your engine oil replaced. Extreme hot or cold temperatures along with your individual driving style could lead to more frequent oil changes.
Save yourself inconvenience, headache, and money in the future by learning how to spot the signs and symptoms of an engine oil related problem. Listed below are a few of the most common symptoms that will help you determine if you have a problem related to your engine oil.
If you spot a puddle or pool of fluid under your BMW, it’s important not to confuse this with condensation dripping from your air conditioning system. Once you’re able to confirm that there is oil collecting under your vehicle, we recommend scheduling a service appointment as soon as possible. Common areas to inspect for leaking engine oil include the oil pan drain plug, oil pan gasket, and valve cover gasket. It’s important to have this issue addressed quickly, as a loss of engine oil can cause potentially serious damage to your engine.
A blinking or steady Engine Oil Warning Light appearing on your dashboard is a warning sign that your BMW is suffering from low oil pressure. In order to stay lubricated and properly protected against harmful heat and friction, your engine requires a certain amount of oil at all times. Should a blinking oil light appear on your dashboard, we advise coming safely to a stop and contact the Service Center at Sewickley BMW to address the issue. If you continue to drive with low oil pressure you risk causing serious damage to your vehicle.
