BMW 3 SERIES OIL AND FLUIDS

Modern engines place extreme pressure on the oils and lubricants that keep them running and protect them. You need to have lubricants that respond to the task. Castrol manufactures a range of engine oils and brake fluids for all BMW 3 Series models.

 

IS BMW 3 SERIES OIL FULLY SYNTHETIC? 

 

Castrol engineers work directly with auto makers to create the strongest possible synthetic engine oils and our range of BMW 3 Series engine oils is fully synthetic . These oils offer significant benefits like extended drain intervals, better performance in high operating temperatures and enhanced protection for engines under extreme stress. 

 

HOW OFTEN DOES A BMW 3 SERIES NEED AN OIL CHANGE?

 

This will depend on the make and model of your car. Most modern cars will go 10,000 miles without the need for an oil change but older cars may need more frequent oil changes. You should consult your vehicle owner’s handbook for the recommended oil change interval.

 

BMW 3 SERIES BRAKE FLUID

 

Brakes are essential for any car and this makes brake fluid  one of your BMW 3 Series’ most essential components. A recommended brake fluid has to resist the moisture that can cause vapour lock brake failure, protect against corrosion and withstand high brake temperatures.

 

Castrol’s Dot 4 brake fluid  for use in most BMW 3 Series cars meets this challenge. It is liquid engineered to prevent vapour lock and protect your brake system. Please check your owner’s handbook for reference.
