Frequently Asked Questions

Why is an oil change important for a 2015 BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo?

• Lubrication: fresh oil reduces friction across the inline six engine and turbocharger components, preserving horsepower and torque.
• Heat management: clean oil helps control engine temperature and protects bearings and seals under sustained loads.
• Contaminant removal: oil removes combustion byproducts and microscopic debris that accelerate wear and risk expensive repairs.
• Fuel economy and performance: timely oil changes help maintain the vehicle's EPA-class fuel efficiency and zero-to-sixty responsiveness.
• Turbo protection: engines with forced induction rely on quality oil to protect turbochargers from carbon buildup and premature wear.
• Warranty and long-term savings: having service performed at a certified dealership protects warranty coverage and often costs less than independent shops when factoring immediate savings, fewer repeat repairs, and retained resale value.
