What the service covers on a BMW 6 Series

An oil change begins with draining the used engine oil and refilling the engine with the oil grade and capacity specified by BMW for the vehicle. The service also includes a new oil filter, which helps the lubrication system manage contaminants as the engine operates. After the oil and filter replacement, the oil-life monitor is reset and the underhood fluid levels are checked.

Engine oil gradually loses its additive package and its ability to carry heat and debris, even before it looks dirty. That is why maintenance timing follows mileage and time rather than oil appearance alone. Drivers may notice an oil-change reminder, mileage beyond the last service, dark or low oil on the dipstick, or a ticking or louder engine note at startup. Booking service replaces the oil and filter with the grade specified for the engine and records the visit in the vehicle's history.

NHTSA campaign 18V465000 applies to the 2018 BMW 6 Series and concerns a crankshaft sensor with incorrect firmware that could contribute to a stall. BMW's remedy is crankshaft sensor replacement at no charge through a franchised dealer; open recalls can be checked by VIN. Drivers can schedule service when maintenance is due.
