Oil changes are perhaps the most well known and advertised form of automotive maintenance. But despite being common, oil changes are one of the most important parts of automotive upkeep. BMWs are well known for being one of the finest examples of automotive engineering on the road today, and that extends to the engine. Your BMW’s engine requires fresh oil to stay lubricated and protect its many moving parts.
If you need a synthetic oil change, there will be notable performance issues with your BMW 3 Series when driving home from Chesterfield. These issues can include increased exhaust, burning or other odd smells, engine noises, decreased miles per gallon, and your warning lights coming on. These signs are not to be ignored as old oil can cause severe damage to your BMW’s engine if left unchanged.
Using synthetic oil offers several advantages when compared to conventional motor oil. The most well-known of these advantages is the fact that synthetic oil lasts far longer than conventional engine oil. Most types of synthetic oil lasts up to 10,000-miles when compared to conventional oil’s 3,000-mile average. Synthetics also handle temperature extremes better and are more effective in very hot or very cold weather. Synthetic oils help keep your engine clean by preventing build-up and serving as a cleaning agent in addition to being a lubricant.
Oil is essential for safe engine operation, and as your oil goes bad, it loses its ability to protect your engine. This can lead to situations where your engine can overheat or seize up completely, leaving you in a dangerous situation. Old oil puts you, your passengers, and other drivers in danger, and even if you avoid an accident, engine issues can still leave you waiting for a tow truck or a ride home from a Wildwood parking lot. There are also finical concerns as old oil can damage your engine, leading to expensive repairs.
