How Often to Get 2025 BMW M8 Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2025 BMW M8? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

BMW recommends changing your 2025 M8’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of BMW-recommended oil change intervals, your M8 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, 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, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your BMW M8. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

What Kind of Oil Should I Get for My BMW M8?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2025 BMW M8 motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. BMW has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 2025 BMW M8 vehicles. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, maintain proper engine temperature, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. During your oil change service, a technician will change your M8's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off essential fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your M8 by considering your driving style, and odometer.
