How much is the cost to get a BMW oil change?
How much does it cost to get a BMW oil change? My friend and I debated whether oil changes cost more or less for nice cars. I think they cost more, but they don't agree.

The exact price for your BMW oil change may vary depending on the following factors:
- Your specific model and model year
- Where you get your oil changed
- Market fluctuations in the value of synthetic oil
- Whether or not you need an oil filter replacement, too
Pro tip: Your BMW oil change may be covered under BMW’s 3-year/36,000-mile maintenance program if you recently bought your Bimmer.
A standard
oil and filter change
costs between $20 and $75 for a more affordable car, but BMW oil changes are more expensive for the following reasons:- Type of oil: BMW uses synthetic oil which is more expensive than conventional oil.
- Specialty service: Only BMW-trained technicians can perform a BMW oil change. You may have to pay more to have your Bimmer serviced at the dealership rather than a cheaper local repair shop.
- Type of filter: BMW uses specific OEM oil filters that cost slightly more than your standard filter.
Did you know?: The synthetic oil in your BMW only needs to be changed once every year or every 5,000 to 7,000 miles. While conventional oil is cheaper, it needs to be changed more frequently—once every six months or every 3,000 miles.
