Don't forget to change the oil in your BMW X5 SUV. Regular oil changes hold the key to protecting your BMW X5's engine and attaining peak performance. But how often should you change the oil in a BMW X5? Find out so you can stay on top of scheduling oil changes at the Long Beach BMW Service Center.
When to Change the Oil in Your BMW X5 SUV
When should I get the oil changed in my BMW X5 SUV? You're not the only BMW owner around Long Beach wondering this. BMW recommends changing the oil in X5 models every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.
However, if you frequently drive in stop-and-go LA traffic – such as the Long Beach Freeway – or in extremely hot or dusty conditions, you may need to change your oil more often. You may need to schedule BMW oil change service for your X5 about every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
Consult your owner's manual for specifics based on your exact X5 configuration and model year. Be sure to change the oil in your BMW X5 if remaining oil life is below 15%. Never wait more than a year between oil changes, as old motor oil in your X5 will thicken to sludge.
Why Are Regular BMW Oil Changes So Important?
Why are regular oil changes so critical? Over time, engine oil breaks down and becomes contaminated with dust, debris, and sludge. Old, dirty oil can't properly lubricate the engine, leading to increased friction and wear. This decreases performance and fuel efficiency while increasing the risk of overheating and engine damage. Fresh, clean oil keeps your BMW X5's engine protected and running smoothly.
