How to properly change the oil in a BMW 8 Series?

I have a BMW 8 Series and I want to change the oil myself. Can someone walk me through the steps and give me some tips for maintaining the engine's health?

Hi Samantha, changing the oil in your BMW 8 Series is a relatively simple task that you can do yourself. First, make sure you have the correct type of oil and oil filter for your car. Then, park your car on a level surface and let the engine cool down for 10-15 minutes. Next, locate the oil drain plug and use a wrench to loosen and remove it. Allow the old oil to drain completely before replacing the drain plug and tightening it. Finally, add new oil through the oil filler cap, checking the level with the dipstick until it reaches the recommended level. As for maintaining your engine's health, make sure to follow your car's recommended oil change intervals and use high quality oil. Regular maintenance and proper oil changes will keep your engine running smoothly and prolong its life.

Hey Samantha, I'm also a proud BMW 8 Series owner and I recommend taking your car to a certified mechanic for oil changes. They have the expertise and equipment to properly dispose of the old oil and ensure the new oil is of the highest quality. Plus, they can also check for any potential issues with your engine and address them before they become major problems. I personally go to my trusted mechanic every 5,000 miles and never had any issues with my engine's health. Better safe than sorry.

Hi Samantha, changing the oil in a BMW 8 Series requires specific tools and knowledge. Unless you are a trained mechanic, I highly recommend leaving it to the professionals. Not only will they do it properly, but they can also detect any potential leaks or engine issues during the oil change. And for the best maintenance of your engine, make sure to follow BMW's recommended service schedule.
