BMW Oil Change Waynesburg PA

Why Do I Need an Oil Change?

Engine oil plays an important role in your engine's operation. In general, it serves two purposes: lubrication and temperature regulation.

During operation, the many parts inside your vehicle's engine move past each other quickly, which can cause friction. However, with clean oil, you ensure that the engine's parts are well-lubricated, which helps prevent that friction from happening. Engine oil also has a viscous quality that allows excess heat within the engine to dissipate. This helps to regulate engine temperature and can prevent overheating.

Over time, engine oil can pick up particles from around your engine, which can cause it to become thick and slow-moving. When this happens, engine oil becomes less effective at doing its job, which can lead to:

• Costly friction damage
• Overheating
• Performance issues
• Decreased efficiency

Fortunately, oil changes are a simple way to remedy these issues.

How Often Do I Need a BMW Oil Change?

In general, we encourage that Waynesburg, PA, area drivers schedule an oil change every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. That's roughly every six months to one year. It's important that you don't go more than one year between oil changes, regardless of how many miles you drive.

Conventional vs Synthetic Oil: Which Should I Use?

The factory-trained and BMW-certified technicians at our Waynesburg area dealership recommend using synthetic oil for your luxury vehicle. Synthetic oil uses purification methods to improve upon conventional oil, so it's better tailored to the needs of modern engines.

Since synthetic oil has been purified at a molecular level, it provides certain advantages, like:

• A longer oil change interval
• Better lubrication
• Improved temperature regulation
• Enhanced vehicle performance and efficiency
• Reduced vehicle emissions

While synthetic oil has its advantages, the right oil for your vehicle will depend on manufacturer recommendations. We have both conventional and synthetic oils here at our dealership's BMW service center, as well as high-quality genuine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts.
