If you’re in Montgomery with a BMW X5, you should schedule your oil changes every 10,000 miles or once per year, depending on how much you drive. That said, other conditions and driving habits may change this recommended BMW X5 maintenance schedule, and the Service Center at our Montgomery BMW dealer is here to help.

Standard BMW X5 Oil Change Interval

For most drivers around Montgomery, an oil change ever 10,000 miles or once annually is recommended for your BMW X5. The mileage figure is set to help ward off internal engine damage from worn and broken down oil. And even if you aren’t hitting that mileage target each year, engine oil will begin to break down after around 12 months, reducing your engine’s protection.

Factors that Affect the BMW X5 Oil Change Recommended Interval

If you experience any of the following driving conditions, our team may recommend more frequent oil change intervals for your BMW X5:

• Stop and Go traffic more than three times per week
• Climbing or descending steep hills
• Hard acceleration on a routine basis
• Frequent towing or hauling heavy of loads (500 lbs or more)
• Frequent short trips (Under 5 miles from engine start to park)

The above factors accelerate oil breakdown and increase engine wear simultaneously, so we’ll often recommend more frequent oil changes to help ward off future issues. By replacing the oil and filters more often, we’re removing harmful contaminants from the oil more often and refreshing your engine’s protection for continued engine health.
