BMW X5 Service Intervals

How Often Should I Service My BMW X5?

As with other vehicles, your BMW X5 periodically requires maintenance and upkeep to perform at peak capacity. Additionally, routine service on your BMW keeps both the car itself and its components in top condition, which ensures they run smoothly and last as long as possible. Your BMW X5 service intervals start at 15,0000 miles and progress to 90,000 miles with scheduled intervals in between. To understand what services occur at what time, you'll want to follow the BMW X5 maintenance schedule in the owner's manual.

15,000 Mile Service

The first services that your BMW needs begin at 15,000 miles. The engine oil gets replaced at this time, and the oil filter is simultaneously replaced. Several different components will be inspected at 15,000 miles, including the belts, hoses, and suspension system. A mechanic will look at the brakes and the steering linkage. The coolant fluid in the engine may also be replaced.

30,000 Mile Service

More services are in store for your BMW at 30,000 miles. The services performed at 15,000 miles will be repeated when your car hits 30,000 miles. It will have some additional services, too, including an inspection of the brake pads. The exhaust system will get checked to ensure it is in good condition and make sure it doesn't have leaks. A mechanic will look at the brake fluid levels and other major parts' fluid levels, such as the transmission and coolant fluid.

60,000 Mile Service

At 60,000 miles, a BMW mechanic will look at your X5's spark plugs and replace them if they are worn out. The battery will get checked and make sure it isn't leaking and has sufficient power left. The tires will be rotated, and the engine oil and engine filter will be changed. The air filter in the car's cabin will also get replaced. A certified technician will also look at the drive belts and check the brakes for excessive wear.

90,000 Mile Service

At 90,000 miles, your BMW gets its power steering fluid checked. The transmission fluid will also be replaced. A mechanic will look at the hoses and connections in the car to ensure they're in good working condition. The brakes will be inspected, and the brake pads and rotors may be replaced. If the spark plugs weren't changed at 60,000 miles, they'd likely be changed at 90,000 miles.
