SN0W20 engine oil represents the following meanings: 1. The 'S' at the beginning stands for gasoline engine oil, and the following letters from A, B, C, D... to N indicate that the higher the letter, the higher the grade. 2. 0W represents -35°C, and 20 refers to the oil grade. 3. 'W' stands for winter, and the smaller the number before it, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the oil, indicating a lower usable environmental temperature and better protection for the engine during cold starts. The number after 'W' (after the dash) is an indicator of the oil's high-temperature resistance, with a larger number indicating better protection performance at high temperatures.

Is It Necessary to Extend the Warranty for BMW 3 Series to 8 Years?

Whether it is necessary to purchase an 8-year extended warranty for the BMW 3 Series depends on the owner's usage intensity of the vehicle. If the annual mileage is less than 10,000 kilometers, there is no need to buy the extended warranty, as low usage intensity rarely leads to issues with the engine, transmission, or turbo. However, if the vehicle is used for business purposes or for long daily commutes, with an annual mileage potentially exceeding 30,000 kilometers, purchasing the extended warranty provides an additional layer of protection. Differences between manufacturer extended warranty and 4S store extended warranty: The manufacturer extended warranty can be used at all BMW dealerships nationwide. In contrast, the 4S store extended warranty is typically limited to the specific 4S store where it was purchased or a few designated local 4S stores. If the vehicle is only used for local commuting, purchasing a 4S store extended warranty might come with additional maintenance services. For those who frequently travel across different regions, the manufacturer extended warranty offers broader coverage. Benefits of extending the car warranty: Cost-saving: In later car repairs, the owner can enjoy free repairs without paying a penny. Peace of mind: With an extended warranty, all fault repairs and part replacements use original manufacturer parts, eliminating concerns about mismatched parts. The technicians are also more professional, ensuring owner satisfaction. Higher resale value: When selling the current car to buy a new one, a vehicle with an extended warranty is more attractive to buyers because it includes post-sale warranty services, and the warranty can be transferred with the car.
