Old Cars Vs New Cars | Recommended Oil Change Intervals

In most cases, modern cars require fewer trips to the mechanic for maintenance. This is because they typically use a multi-grade, full-synthetic, synthetic-blend, low-viscosity, or resource-conserving oils that reduce friction and boost fuel economy.

Oil Change Intervals For Older Cars

Older BMW's get oil change intervals based on mileage, and have two methods of preservation, one for cars driven in "ordinary" conditions and another for drivers operating in "extraordinary circumstances." The latter group involves driving your BMW under one or more of the following conditions:

 
• Hauling heavy loads or towing a trailer
 
• Primarily brief trips that are around 5 miles or fewer
 
• Extremely cold, hot, or dirty climates
 
• Constant stop-and-go driving (AKA City Driving)

If your BMW driving falls under one or more of these extraordinary circumstances. Then be sure you get it serviced under the suggested schedule intervals.

Oil Change Intervals For Newer Cars

Newer BMW's get outfitted with oil-life monitoring systems that routinely determine when the engine needs an oil change and notifies drivers with an alert found on the instrument panel.The old-school methods were based on mileage and time. The modern system is more advanced and utilizes actual vehicle operating conditions to diagnose when oil levels will weaken.In fact, your BMW's owner and maintenance manuals will omit "severe service" suggestions in many newer cars. This is because the oil-life monitoring processes systematically curtail the oil change interval 'check engine light' alert when it encounters heavy-duty operating conditions.Now that modern engines are so efficient, oil changes are more seldomly required. Many BMW engines use less than a quart of oil between changes. This means most will only require as little as a quart for every 600 to 700 miles. Preserving appropriate oil levels helps in sidestepping pricey car repairs; your new-car warranty will not cover wear and tear on your engine resulting from low oil levels. Most automakers recommend an oil change every 12 months if you're not driving many miles, it's still recommended even if the check engine lift has not lit up yet.
