Your BMW Service Questions Answered

New car research, vehicle specifications, financing...if you've ever purchased a vehicle, you know these subjects all too well. When you buy or lease a new BMW model, you may eventually have questions about BMW service as well, and when you do, you'll be happy to have Fields BMW Orlando in your corner.  

Q: How do I know when to visit for BMW service?  

A: Your Orlando BMW dealership will send reminders when it's time for maintenance. If you've missed a reminder or if you're not the vehicle's first owner, your owner's manual also provides suggested maintenance intervals for all essential services.  

Q: How often should I change my oil?  

A: Older BMW cars that have belonged to multiple owners should receive oil changes every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Newer models contain engines and oil formulations that are different from older models, so you can easily last up to 10,000 miles between oil changes. However, it's a good idea to come in early if you tow or haul heavy loads frequently.  

Q: My check engine light is on. What should I do?  

A: When your check engine light or other vehicle warning lights come on, your car is telling you that something needs attention. Sometimes the problem is as simple as a loose gas cap, but regardless of the source, we'll make sure it's fixed correctly and promptly.  

Q: How often should I get my tires rotated?   

A: While tire rotations are suggested every 6,000 to 8,000 miles, you may also choose to simply rotate your tires with each oil change. Conversely, if you're spending a lot of time driving off-road or in poor road conditions, you may wish to visit more often.  

Q: How often should I replace my car battery?  

A: Batteries typically last up to six years under normal conditions. However, we suggest preventive maintenance like cleanings, fluid top-offs, and the occasional supplemental charge to ensure peak performance in the meantime.
