How to choose the right oil for my BMW?

I just got a new BMW and I am not sure which oil to use. There are so many options, how do I know which one is best for my car?

When selecting an oil for your BMW, it's important to consider the manufacturer's recommendations. Make sure you use an oil with the correct viscosity for your particular model. Generally, BMWs require thicker oils to provide better protection for the engine. Also, make sure to choose an oil that meets the API certification requirements.

It's always a good idea to stick with a name brand oil, as they tend to have better quality control. However, it doesn't have to be a BMW branded oil. Look for oils that meet the BMW Longlife-01 or Longlife-04 specification, as these are approved for BMW engines.

In addition to the right type of oil, it's important to change it regularly. BMW recommended oil change intervals are typically between 7,500 to 10,000 miles, but it's always a good idea to consult your owner's manual.
