As soon as you experience the thrilling driving sensation in a new BMW car, you’ll want to do everything you can to ensure it continues to perform smoothly. Thankfully, the team in our BMW service center can make that happen.
One of the most important maintenance services we perform is oil changes. Head over to BMW of Catonsville to have our certified BMW technicians take care of this essential maintenance!
Why Is Oil So Important?
Many people know that getting frequent oil changes is recommended, but not every driver knows just how important it is for keeping your engine running well. Think about how many complex metal parts are in your engine and how fast they move while you drive.
Oil stabilizes the temperature of the engine unit and prevents parts from colliding with one another by providing adequate levels of lubrication. It also absorbs impurities like dust and debris to ensure the engine remains clean.
Needless to say, it’s more than worth it to keep up with your oil change schedule.
How Often Should I Change My Oil?
You should swing by our Baltimore BMW service center roughly every 5,000 to 7,500 miles depending on your vehicle. However, if you aren’t racking up the miles, you should not skip your routine oil change. The mileage interval is important to keep in mind for everyday drivers, but if your car has been sitting on your driveway for the better part of the last year, we recommend an oil change every six months.
Oil breaks down over time and degrades even as you're not driving, which can harm the engine in more ways than one. It also loses its viscosity over time. This is why the old oil is drained from your car during oil change appointments and replaced with a fresh supply. If needed, the oil filter will also be replaced.
