What the service covers on a BMW 6 Series

An oil change begins with draining the used engine oil and refilling the engine with the grade and capacity specified by BMW for the vehicle. The service also includes a new oil filter, which helps capture contaminants as oil circulates through the engine. After the replacement, the oil life monitor is reset so the maintenance record reflects the completed visit, and underhood fluid levels are checked.

Engine oil can lose its additive package and its ability to carry heat and debris before it looks dirty. That is why maintenance timing follows mileage and time rather than appearance alone. Drivers may notice an oil-change reminder, mileage past the last service, dark or low oil on the dipstick, or a ticking or louder engine note at startup. The 2018 BMW 6 Series is included in NHTSA campaign 18V465000 involving a crankshaft sensor with incorrect firmware; a franchised dealer checks open recalls by VIN and performs an eligible remedy at no charge. Drivers can schedule service for the oil and filter replacement.
