Should the first maintenance for BMW be done at 5,000 kilometers?
1 Answers
BMW recommends the first maintenance at 5,000 kilometers to maintain good vehicle condition in the following years and to conclude the break-in period. After driving 5,000 kilometers, even with the most advanced manufacturing processes, some metal shavings and impurities are inevitable. Removing these break-in impurities from the engine early helps maintain long-term engine performance, reducing oil consumption and future expenses. Below are relevant details: 1. BMW new cars prompt maintenance at 5,000 kilometers, which is the first maintenance reminder set by the 4S store. Performing the first maintenance at 5,000 kilometers aims to conclude the break-in period and ensure good vehicle condition in the coming years. 2. The main tasks of the first maintenance include changing the engine oil and oil filter, along with routine vehicle inspections. The maintenance cycle is designed based on normal driving conditions. If the vehicle is used under harsh conditions, additional maintenance items and more frequent servicing are required, especially for users who frequently drive short distances or in low temperatures, necessitating shorter oil change intervals. Following the maintenance manual's schedule is also acceptable, as long as the service is performed within the required period to avoid voiding the warranty.
