HOW TO CHECK YOUR OIL QUALITY AT HOME IN ATHENS, GA

Before scheduling a professional BMW oil change, you can keep tabs on your engine's lubrication by checking your car's oil levels at home.

• Park your BMW vehicle on level ground with a cold engine.
• Pop the hood, then pull the dipstick from the oil compartment.
• Wipe the dipstick clean of any oil.
• Reinsert the dipstick into the oil compartment.
• Again, pull out the dipstick to see the oil line.
• If the line falls below the minimum recommended level, it's time for an oil change.

SCHEDULE YOUR BMW OIL CHANGE & MORE AT ATHENS BMW

Too many Athens, GA, drivers stop by our service center because their BMW vehicle suddenly has difficulty starting, issues with overheating, or much lower MPG – all because our well-intentioned customers have trusted a general mechanic to change their oil.

To keep your daily driver in peak condition, follow these guidelines:

• Only BMW high-performance synthetic oil that's formulated specifically for your model should be allowed to flow through your vehicle's system. Anything else runs the risk of ruining your engine's seals, bearings, pistons, and crankshaft, or starving your engine entirely of the lubrication it needs.
• To avoid getting stranded on the side of the road, ask about our BMW battery service and replacement, too. A dead battery means your vehicle can't function, with or without the proper oil.
• Our team can also explore any BMW brake service needs you may have, especially if the seasons are changing and you want to make sure you have instant, adequate stopping power.

The next time you're due for BMW maintenance, please do yourself and your car a favor and demand the excellence of a BMW-certified technician.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT OIL DOES MY BMW VEHICLE TAKE?

Your BMW vehicle requires BMW high-performance synthetic oil, though the specific grade and rating depend on your model and engine. To find the correct oil, check your owner's manual for the recommended SAE viscosity and long-life specification. Sometimes, the recommended oil viscosity for your model is printed on its oil filler cap. You can simplify the entire process by asking us about your recommended BMW oil type.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET AN OIL CHANGE FOR MY BMW MODEL?

A BMW oil change is recommended every 10,000 miles or every 12 months, whichever comes first. If you frequently take short trips, drive in stop-and-go traffic, drive in extreme temperatures, or tow heavy loads, you may need an oil change sooner. Older or high-mileage engines might also require new BMW engine oil before these recommended intervals.

HOW DO I CHECK THE OIL IN MY BMW SEDAN OR SUV?

You can check your BMW motor oil level at home by parking your car on a level surface, making sure the engine is cold, popping the hood, and removing the oil stick from its compartment. Clean the stick, replace it in the compartment, then take it out again and check the oil line. If the oil line is at or below the indicated minimum, book a BMW oil change.
