Frequently Asked Questions

Why is an oil change important for a 2024 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe?

• Protects the high-performance 4.4L V8 and twin-turbo system by removing contaminants that accelerate wear and stress on bearings, turbos, and valvetrain components.
• Preserves horsepower and torque delivery so the engine maintains smooth, responsive performance throughout its life.
• Prevents sludge and varnish that reduce cooling and lubrication efficiency—critical in performance engines with tight tolerances.
• Maintains fuel efficiency and reduces emissions by ensuring the engine runs with optimal oil viscosity and cleanliness.
• Sustains resale value and service records; timely, dealer-performed oil changes support warranty coverage and long-term reliability.

How often should you get an oil change?

• Follow the vehicle’s onboard oil life monitor for the most accurate interval; many modern BMWs advise service around every 10,000–15,000 miles or annually under normal driving conditions.
• Severe driving—frequent short trips, towing, high-performance driving, or extreme temperatures—can shorten intervals. In those cases, consider service every 5,000–7,500 miles.
• Regular dealer-performed oil changes ensure the correct oil grade and filter are used and that service is recorded in your vehicle history for warranty and resale value.

What type of oil does a 2024 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe take?

• BMW recommends a full-synthetic oil that meets BMW longlife specifications. The exact viscosity (for example, 0W-30 or 5W-30) depends on climate and engine configuration—your owner’s manual or our service advisors will confirm the correct spec.
• Plaza BMW uses only BMW-approved synthetic oils and genuine filters to protect turbochargers and high-output components, maintaining peak performance and longevity.
• Using manufacturer-approved oil maintains warranty eligibility; warranty repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to remain valid.

How much oil does a 2024 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe need?

• Oil capacity varies slightly with engine and whether the oil filter is changed. For modern 4.4L BMW V8 engines expect an approximate range of 8 to 10 quarts (7.6–9.5 liters) when including filter change.
• Exact capacity is confirmed in the owner’s manual; our technicians verify fill level on your vehicle and use factory procedures to ensure proper oil level and pressure.
• Accurate fill and genuine oil help avoid overfill or underfill conditions that can harm turbochargers, seals, and emissions systems.
