New car 116i help

Hello,
Got my first bimmer 1series f20 2014. And my next oil change is due. The car has a mileage 40,000km

Any tips? What needs to be change? What oil is good for the car?

Not sending it to bmw, quite a rip off.

Thanks guys

Hello.

Besides the oil, it's the oil filter (it has a new drainage plug washer to be used, included).

The brake fluid, maybe: it's due in 2 years although my BMW service convinced me to postpone it till 3 the first time.

The air filters. I guess you should have a very clean/fresh air on Mauritius unless you drive on dusty roads. It's very easy to check and may be just vacuum-clean the engine one. The cabin air filter - very probably if it has never been changed yet and you like to breathe .

At 40,000km spark plugs might be due, depending on your petrol quality. I had mine replaced under 50,000km and it improved the engine's idling smoothness (which had been actually the concern). Also, fresh spark plugs should save the ignition coils which are quite more expensive.

The good oil is the recommended "original" one, unless you have a spare engine . It's all right to pour in just 4 litres (instead of 4.25 they usually use to overfill) and add a litre when/if necessary.

Check for those condition-based service messages. Check the coolant quantity. Reset the next service date.
