  • Oil & Filter Change
  • Vehicle Inspection

 

While BMW recommends a 10,000-mile interval, most experts consider it too long. Extended intervals often lead to oil breakdown and internal engine deposits. We recommend high-quality synthetic oil every 5,000 miles—LIQUIMOLY is one of our preferred choices for Lake Oswego BMW owners.

  • Replace Engine Air Filter
  • Inspect Brakes (Some models do not have rear brake pad wear sensors)

Engine air filters keep your BMW breathing clean air and maintain proper efficiency. Replacing them every 20k helps maintain smooth operation.


Even with brake sensors, periodic inspections are important to ensure safe stopping—especially on the hilly terrain around Lake Oswego.

  • Replace Brake Fluid
  • Inspect Cooling System, flush cooling system as needed
  • A/C service & Inspection. Evacuate, recharge, and leak test A/C system

 

Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, and coolant degrades chemically. Replacing both every 2 years protects high-performance braking and prevents overheating.
