How Often to Change 2024 BMW iX Oil

Not sure how or where to get your BMW iX’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2024 iX’s oil should be changed according to BMW’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your iX may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, 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 terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your BMW iX. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
