BMW of Wesley Chapel Presents Our Top 10 Maintenance Procedures for Your Car

BMW automobiles are some of the best-engineered luxury cars in the world – but in order to enjoy all of the benefits, it’s imperative to keep your vehicle well maintained. This means a BMW oil change and a lot more.

Tire Pressure

Tire pressure is a key influencer of fuel economy, as well as comfort and handling. It should be checked weekly.

Tire Rotation

Correct wheel balancing and alignment, along with overall safety, are the benefits associated with a tire rotation. Have your car’s tires rotated at BMW of Wesley Chapel every 6,000 – 8,000 miles.

Drive Belts

The drive belts transfer energy from the engine to a variety of other parts and accessories. The serpentine belt is replaced every 40,000 miles, and the timing belt every 60,000 miles.

Oil Change

The oil in sedans and BMW SUVs should be changed every several thousand miles. Fresh oil reduces friction in the engine and helps to maintain top performance.

Engine Air Filter

The engine air filter ensures that only clean, uncontaminated air is processed in the engine. The frequency of needing a new filter depends on the age of your car and how often you drive.

Battery Terminals

Every few months, the battery terminals should be checked for signs of corrosion and mineral buildup. This helps prolong battery life and performance.

Windshield Wipers

Good visibility is a must while driving in bad weather, and windshield wipers play a pivotal role. When yours begin squeaking or leaving streaks on the glass, it’s time for a new set.

Spark Plugs

New spark plugs are necessary every 30,000 – 100,000 miles, depending on the type. These small but important BMW parts contribute to smooth engine start-up and clean running.

Fluids

Along with the oil, several other fluids should be consistently checked, topped-off, and flushed. These include coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid.

Lights

A broken or burnt-out bulb is a safety hazard and might even earn you a ticket. Trust our team to inspect each bulb in your car and replace the ones that are broken.
