I just bought a BMW 2 Series and I'm wondering what type of engine oil I should use and how often should I change it? Any other tips for maintaining my car's engine?
ReplyCongratulations on your new BMW 2 Series! For the engine oil, BMW recommends using synthetic 5W-30 oil. As for maintenance, it's best to follow the service schedule in your owner's manual. Typically, the oil should be changed every 10,000 miles or once a year. Just make sure to check the oil level regularly and top up if needed. Additionally, it's important to let the car warm up for a few minutes before driving it in order to properly lubricate the engine parts.
I've been a BMW mechanic for over 20 years and my recommendation is to use a quality synthetic oil, like Castrol EDGE or Mobil 1. These oils provide the best protection and performance for BMW engines. As for the frequency of oil changes, it's best to stick to the service schedule as outlined in your owner's manual. Regular oil changes are crucial for keeping your engine running smoothly and avoiding potential issues.
