Need more info about 2016 BMW X3 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”
BMW recommends changing your 2016 X3’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your X3 in the above table. No matter the mileage, your X3 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than BMW recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your BMW X3. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2016 BMW X3 motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. BMW has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 2016 X3. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, keep the engine cool, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. In an oil change service, an auto technician will change your X3’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, check all of your other 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 X3 by considering your driving preferences, and the number of miles on your odometer.
Wondering what motor oil brands you can find at Firestone Complete Auto Care? We carry the best because your X3 deserves the best.
