BMW recommends changing your 1998 328i’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 328i in the above table. Outside of BMW-recommended oil change intervals, your 328i may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than BMW recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your BMW 328i. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
