What the service covers on a BMW 8 Series

An oil change begins with draining the engine oil and refilling it with the grade and capacity specified by BMW for the applicable BMW 8 Series model year. A new oil filter is installed during the same visit, helping the lubrication system continue filtering particles carried through the engine oil. The oil life monitor is then reset so the vehicle can track the next service interval correctly.

The visit also includes a check of the underhood fluid levels. Engine oil gradually loses its additive package and its ability to carry heat and debris, even before it looks dirty. That is why the service interval is based on mileage and time instead of 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. When any of these signs appear, drivers can schedule service for the BMW 8 Series at Herb Chambers BMW of Boston.
