BMW Oil Changes

When you get a BMW oil change, you ensure your quality BMW sedan, crossover, or SUV performs at its best. At BMW of Sherman Oaks, you can stop by for exceptional service, including regular oil changes that ensure your vehicle stays as highly performing and reliable as intended.

What Does Motor Oil Do?

Motor oil provides lubrication to the moving parts of the engine. It reduces friction between fast-moving engine components such as piston rings and crankshaft rod bearings while absorbing soot and other combustion byproducts to keep the engine clean.

Why Do I Need Oil Changes, and What Happens if I Forget?

Over time, the heat and friction of the engine cause a transformation. The oil loses viscosity, becoming thicker and stickier as it absorbs pollutants. It will eventually get so thick and sooty that it can't do its job. Among the possible consequences:

• Higher engine friction, leading to premature wear
• Higher heat, potentially leading to the engine overheating or seizing
• A significant loss of fuel economy since your engine will have to work harder

How Often Does My BMW Car Need Its Oil Changed?

The old guideline of three to five thousand miles is somewhat outdated. The fact is that each car is different. Your vehicle's age, powertrain, your maintenance habits, and how you drive can all influence how often you need a change. The best way to know for sure is to check your owner's manual or visit our BMW dealership near Los Angeles to get back on track.

Can't I Just Visit a Quick Lube Shop?

You could, technically, but we don't suggest it. They aren't staffed by qualified technicians. Training is minimal, and a focus on speed and profit margins over quality often leads to the use of fluids and components that don't meet the standards of BMW parts, plus carelessness that can result in expensive repairs (which will not, we should add, be covered under warranty). Our BMW service offers are a smarter way to save money.
