2013 BMW 128i Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your BMW 128i, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your 128i could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get 128i maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2013 BMW 128i maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by BMW, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 128i's life, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2013 BMW 128i problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2013 BMW 128i for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your 128i’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2013 BMW 128i be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your BMW 128i battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 128i stranded. Your BMW 128i won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2013 BMW 128i's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2013 128i. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2013 BMW 128i.
