Lubrication

Average Service Interval

5,000 miles or 6–12 months

Service Descriptions

Comprehensive BMW oil and filter change using BMW Longlife-approved synthetic oil and OEM filter, performed to precise fill specifications to ensure proper lubrication and long-term engine protection.

BMW engines (e.g. turbocharged inline-4, inline-6, or V8) run hotter and place heavy demands on lubrication systems. Regular oil service is critical to protect VANOS timing components, turbo bearings, and direct injection systems from premature wear. Our service begins with a pre-inspection of the oil pan, drain plug, and filter housing for leaks. We then drain the old oil, replace the OEM spin-on or cartridge filter, and clean the housing to ensure a proper seal. Fresh BMW Longlife oil (LL-01, LL-01 FE, or LL-17 FE+ depending on model) is filled to the exact factory capacity and viscosity grade. Drain plug and filter housing are tightened to specification, and the engine is run through warm-up cycles before rechecking for leaks. We reset the Condition Based Service (CBS) reminder in iDrive, verify oil pressure and temperature stability, and road test to confirm smooth performance. This service maintains lubrication, cooling, and contaminant control in high-performance BMW engines.
