Most drivers want their pre-owned BMW vehicles to last as long as possible. Obtaining a long-lasting BMW is less about finding the right model and more about taking specific actions that will keep it in tip-top shape.
Here at Fields BMW of Daytona, our BMW service professionals understand what it takes to keep a car going for years to come. Here are some tips for extending the health and longevity of your vehicle.
Change Your Oil
Oil is the lifeblood of your car’s engine, and staying on top of oil changes is a great way to extend your car’s life. Oil lubricates and cools the parts in your engine, and foregoing regular oil changes can lead to a harmful accumulation of dirt and grime. Procrastinating oil changes can also reduce your car’s efficiency and even lead to engine failure.
Inspect Your Tires
Your tires provide a direct connection between your vehicle and the road. For safety and performance reasons, it is important to check the overall condition and pressure of your tires on a regular basis.
Swap Your Filters
Your car’s filters prevent debris from entering your engine. Air filters clean out dirt and dust in the air, and fuel and oil filters trap abrasive sediments. Check your owner’s manual for suggested filter change intervals for your specific make and model.
Change Your Fluids
In addition to engine oil, there are other fluids that should be regularly changed out. These include:
- Transmission fluid
- Brake fluid
- Power steering fluid
- Radiator coolant
