BMW recommends changing your 2013 Z4’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your Z4 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your BMW Z4. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
