How often should I change the oil in my BMW?

Asked a year ago
It is recommended to change the oil in your BMW every 7,500 to 10,000 miles, or once a year, whichever comes first. This interval may vary depending on your driving habits, climate conditions, and oil type used. Regularly changing the oil is crucial to maintain engine performance and prolong its lifespan. Additionally, BMW models may have an onboard monitoring system that will provide a notification when an oil change is due. Adhering to the manufacturer's recommended guidelines ensures optimal engine protection and efficiency. Therefore, it is advisable to consult your BMW owner's manual or reach out to a BMW service center for specific maintenance recommendations based on your vehicle's model and year.
