What the service covers on a BMW 3 Series
An oil change begins with draining the used engine oil and refilling the BMW 3 Series with the oil grade and capacity specified by the manufacturer. The service also includes a new oil filter, which helps remove contaminants from the oil circulating through the engine. The oil-life monitor is reset so the vehicle can track the next maintenance interval correctly, and underhood fluid levels are checked during the visit. Engine oil gradually loses its additive package and its ability to carry heat and debris, even before it appears especially dirty. That is why mileage and time guide the service interval rather than visual appearance alone. Drivers may notice an oil-change reminder, mileage beyond the last service, dark or low oil on the dipstick, or a ticking or louder engine note at startup. Drivers noticing these signs can schedule service at Herb Chambers BMW of Boston.
