BMW recommends changing your 2012 335is’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 335is in the above table. Outside of BMW-recommended oil change intervals, your 335is may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by BMW if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your BMW 335is. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
