If your BMW exhibits any of these symptoms, it could be time for an oil change:
When you get an oil change from BMW of Gainesville, the old oil is drained from the oil pan and the old oil filter is removed and replaced. The oil drain plug and gasket are then inspected for damage or leaks and replaced. The engine is filled with fresh oil based on the manufacturer’s specifications. Following your oil change, a multi-point inspection is performed where other fluid levels are checked and filled if needed, including coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid.
At BMW of Gainesville, we use synthetic motor oil. Synthetic oil is more refined and does a better job of protecting your engine. This increases your vehicle’s performance and engine life, saving you money in the long run.
