Oil Change options

323Guy · 07-28-2011, 12:02 PM

I live in Toronto (midtown area) & I know I can get an oil change at the dealer but i was curious about other alternatives. is it worth it to have this done outside the dealership?

What's been your experience? Thanks!

Since my car's been out of warranty, have done one oil change outside the dealer. Saved a little money and it was more convenient. They used Mobil one, one of the BMW approved grades and a Mann filter.

My thinking is (in general), if someone here on this blog can do a DIY for a maintenance item (and there is a DIY for oil changes on this site), then a competent mechanic should be able to handle it as well.

Bimmer Sport. I've done all my oil changes with them that are not covered by warranty. You can PM Jon@Bimmersport Automotive on this forum for details and price.

^^^I'd be all over Bimmersport if I was close. However, doing it yourself is a breeze too.
