BMW OIL CHANGE & FILTER SERVICE IN MT. KISCO, NY

BMW oil change service

After investing in a beautiful new BMW vehicle, you want to do everything you can to make sure it stays in great shape for as long as possible – and a regular BMW oil change is a great way to start. This simple service involves flushing out the old, gritty, ineffective oil in your engine system and replacing it with a fresh supply that’s more capable of lubricating your powertrain's moving parts, helping direct sludge toward your BMW oil filter, and preventing overheating. By keeping up with this preventive maintenance, you can improve your vehicle's performance and fuel economy and extend the life of crucial components.

WHAT IS YOUR BMW OIL CHANGE INTERVAL?

BMW models utilize high-quality fully synthetic oil that often doesn't need to be changed for 7,500-15,000 miles. This amounts to every six months to a year, based on an average American's travel habits. However, you should check your owner's manual for instructions specific to your car or SUV. Coming in biannually also gives experts the chance to inspect other aspects of your vehicle and catch problems while they are small and easy to resolve.

WHEN DO YOU NEED AN IMMEDIATE OIL CHANGE?

Schedule your BMW oil change at the DARCARS BMW of Mt. Kisco service center if you observe the following:

  • Your dashboard's "check engine" or "oil" lights glowing
  • Problems changing gears
  • Strange sounds from your engine, especially knocking
  • Unfamiliar vibrations while your vehicle is idling
  • Exhaust smoke
  • Dark puddles under your parked car

You can also be proactive in other ways. If you know that you're going on a long road trip that might put you over 7,500 miles, consider arranging for BMW oil change service and BMW brake replacement early. The first will keep your performance up and boost your fuel economy, while the second ensures you’re able to respond effectively to unexpected obstacles on the road.

Every once in a while, you can check the oil in your car yourself by examining the dipstick, often located on the left side of your engine. When you lift it from your car and wipe it on a clean cloth, it should be light, smooth, and translucent. It needs to be replaced if it's brown or black and no longer smoothly textured. If your oil levels are below the mark indicated on the dipstick, that is also a concern. Rather than simply topping up, bring your vehicle in to make sure there’s not a leak.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW OFTEN SHOULD A BMW GET AN OIL CHANGE?

BMW vehicles often require an oil change every 7,500 to 15,000 miles, but consult your owner's manual for specific recommendations. Coming in for an oil change approximately every six months not only ensures your engine components are well-lubricated and that the system is at low risk of overheating, but it also lets our team perform other services, like tire rotations, as needed to keep your car running at peak performance.

DOES BMW NEED SPECIAL OIL?

Each BMW model has specific formula requirements that need to be met to ensure top performance. This information should be listed in your car's owner's manual, or you can contact our team to help you order some. That said, an oil change can be a messy, time-consuming process, so it often is easier to have our professionals flush out your system and replace the oil and filter for you.

IS BMW OIL FULLY SYNTHETIC?

Yes, BMW vehicles run on fully synthetic oil. In comparison to conventional oil, synthetic oil is more resistant to extreme temperatures, is slower to develop sludge, and breaks down more slowly, ensuring you don't need to get oil changes as frequently. To learn more about the specific type of oil your BMW model takes, reach out to our service professionals.
