Asked by Philip Lezzi
My 1995 E36 BMW 318i has done 210,000 km and is in very good condition. Is it safe to do oil and filter changes at 10,000 km intervals, and how often should a service be done on the automatic transmission?
Answered by CarsGuide
22 Apr 2010The BMW service intervals are set by engine time and indicated on the dash when you first turn the ignition on. If you choose not to follow that changing the engine oil and filter every 10,000 km would be fine; the transmission oil is normally drained at every Level 2 inspection and service, and that generally equates to around 80,000 km.
