BMW recommends having your 2010 BMW 135i’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 135i in the above table.

You may also need an oil change more frequently than BMW recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your BMW 135i. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
