There are two ways to know when you should service your BMW car: swears by the owner’s manual or follow your gut feel, and we don't recommend the latter.
First, let’s break down the science. A ‘regular service’ includes an engine oil change along with an inspection of all relevant components. There are many factors that affect the interval, or frequency, of your oil change process.
Traditionally, it is recommended to change your oil every 5,000 km when using mineral or semi-synthetic engine oils. Only fully synthetic engine oils were able to go up to 10,000 km mileage before an oil change is required.
However, this is no longer relevant and applicable today. With the advancement in research & development, many modern engine oils, be it semi-synthetic, fully synthetic or even mineral oils have been formulated to last up to 10,000 km.
If you like me who barely drives my car, refer to the recommended service interval in your owner’s manual and service your car accordingly which is every 6 or 12 months.
