What can low oil do to my BMW 430i engine?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your 430i’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

Can I change my BMW oil on my own?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Your 2020 430i’s oil should be changed according to BMW’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your BMW 430i. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
