FAQ on Getting an Oil Change


FAQ on Getting an Oil Change in Bloomington, MN

Keeping your motor oil clean and fresh is one of the most important things you can do to help maintain your vehicle’s good running condition. This is why you should never miss an oil change schedule. If you have questions about motor oil and oil changes, you may find the answers in this FAQ prepared by Motorwerks BMW. You can also call or visit our service center in Bloomington, MN, if you want to know more about oil changes.

  • Why do I need to change my oil?

Your engine needs motor oil to function properly and prolong its lifespan. Motor oil lubricates the different parts of your engine. It minimizes friction and prevents your engine from overheating. You can maintain the health of your engine and protect all of its components by changing your oil regularly. Maintaining the right oil level ensures that your engine will run smoothly. Old and dirty oil, however, is not as effective in protecting your engine as fresh oil. Having dirty oil can lead to overheating, stuck piston rings, and shortened engine life.

  • When should I get an oil change?

Different engines have different requirements. This is why you should follow your manufacturer’s recommendation on oil change intervals. You should generally change your oil every three months or 3,000 miles. However, you should bring your vehicle to a service center if you notice any issues, even if it’s not yet time to get an oil change.

  • What happens during an oil change?

When you bring your vehicle to Motorwerks BMW for an oil change, we will do more than add fresh oil to your engine. We will also replace your oil filter and perform a complimentary vehicle inspection. We will check all of your fluids, lights, and battery.

  • Why should I change my oil completely rather than top it off?

If you top off your motor oil, you’ll mix fresh oil with your engine’s old and dirty oil. You’ll contaminate the fresh oil and reduce its performance and capabilities. You should top off your motor oil only during an emergency low-oil situation. But you should do a complete oil change afterward as soon as you can.

  • Can I switch to a different motor oil brand?

Switching motor oils won’t be an issue if the engine oil fits the viscosity grade and specifications in your owner’s manual. If you can, you should get a motor oil that performs better than what you use now. You can also switch back and forth from conventional to synthetic oil.

  • Can I change my oil?

Changing your oil can be messy, hazardous, and inconvenient. If you’re a non-professional, there’s a great chance that you’ll make a mistake and overlook existing issues if you do an oil change. You’re better off leaving oil changes in the hands of professionals.

  • Where can I get an oil change?

You should go to a reputable service center for an oil change. If you’re from Bloomington, MN, you can bring your vehicle to Motorwerks BMW. We have factory-trained technicians who can perform oil changes quickly and efficiently.
