Where should you get a BMW oil change? If you choose a certified service center, you could be in and out in under 45 minutes or even under 30 minutes. However, if you go during peak hours to a BMW Center or generic auto shop, it may take longer to get to your vehicle. It’s best to make an appointment ahead of time, and customer service can give you a better time estimate. Less busy times tend to be first thing in the morning, and early in the work week.
At a certified BMW Center you might also be able to take advantage of the following benefits:
It’s not recommended to go to a big box chain like Jiffy Lube because the technicians aren’t BMW-certified and may not know luxury imports like BMW well. This means you won’t get the star treatment your vehicle deserves.
If you’re performing an oil change for yourself, the amount of time it takes can vary depending on whether you change oil regularly. It’s best to budget at least an hour, and make sure you get the following materials ahead of time:
If you don’t already have these materials, it will likely take less time and cost less to rely on your Lowell, MA-area authorized BMW service center to change the oil.
Conventional wisdom used to dictate that you should get an oil change every 3,000 miles — but these days, new vehicles need oil changes every 5,000 – 7,500 miles. In fact, some models can even go 10,000 miles between oil changes. Check your owner’s manual for a specific oil change interval, and make sure you know whether you need synthetic oil or conventional oil.
