BMW X1 Oil Change Frequency
Staying on top of your routine maintenance schedule is crucial to the health of your vehicle, and one of the most important services to keep up with is your BMW X1 oil change.
Here at BMW of Annapolis, we want your car to run as smoothly as the day you bought it, so it can continue to be your partner around the Annapolis, Arnold, and Severna Park, MD, streets.
How Often Do I Need to Get My Oil Changed?
You’ll need a new oil change about every 5,000 to 10,000 miles, which amounts to about once per year for the average driver. If you drive through harsher conditions regularly, such as snow, rain, or dust, you’ll need your oil changed more frequently.
You’ll also want to check your owner’s manual for what specific mile marker works best for your car, as it can vary depending on the year it was manufactured or its engine components.
Why Do I Need to Get My Oil Changed?
Getting your oil changed is important because it will help keep all your moving engine parts working properly. Over time, your engine oil will get dirty and fill with debris, dust, and muck, and you’ll need to switch it out for new, clean oil, so all the parts can stay properly lubricated.
If you neglect your car’s routine oil change, you could cause major damage to the engine and transmission, due to the grinding of parts under the hood. Oil changes not only save you from major depreciation repairs, but they also provide you with confidence that your vehicle is in premium condition as you hit the road.
How Do I Check My Oil Levels?
Between oil changes, you might need to top off your oil, so it’s important to check your levels about once a month or so.
You can do this by checking your dipstick when your vehicle is off, parked, and on level ground, so you can get a clear reading. Simply pull out your dipstick, wipe it off, re-insert it, and pull it out again to find out if you need a top off.
