How much is the cost to get a BMW oil change?
How much does it cost to get a BMW oil change? My friend and I were having a debate about whether oil changes cost more or less for nice cars. I think they cost more, but they don't agree.

You’re right! It will usually cost between $135 and $175 to get a BMW oil change compared to an oil change for a more affordable car will cost between $35 and $75. Prices vary because of three factors: type of oil, parts, and labor.
- BMWs use special synthetic oil, which performs better at low temperatures. It also cleans the engine while it heats and lubricates moving parts. More standard oil changes use normal oil.
- BMWs have specific oil filters, designed for use with their synthetic oil. Though the difference in cost isn’t too significant, BMW oil filters are more expensive than the standard ones.
- BMW only certifies specific service teams, meaning some shops may not be equipped to deal with a BMW. Of course, you can still get an oil change at an uncertified shop. They just might not be specifically trained in handling BMWs.
That said, oil changes are more expensive for nicer cars. In fact, just about everything is more expensive for a nice car! Insuring a
