Thirty
thousand (30,000) miles in, along with the scheduled oil and filter
change, it is also time to change the brake fluid and perform a check of
the entire braking system on your Wyoming Valley BMW X6. Although the
first brake fluid service happens at 30,000 miles, it should be
continued at 60,000 mile intervals after that. At the same time they
will inspect and replace your vehicle's fuel filters to maintain an
uninterrupted flow of gasoline or diesel fuel to the precision-built
engine underhood.
The 60,000 mile mark is a
momentous occasion in the life of your BMW X6. At this point in your
X6's life, your Wyoming Valley technician will change the engine
and in-cabin air filters which work to prevent dirt, dust and debris from
entering your engine or your vehicle's interior. Next up, spark plugs,
and fuel filters will be examined and replaced if necessary, along with
any other expendables that may be used up, followed by the requisite
multi-point inspections that will also top off all the fluids in your
BMW X6.
During other service intervals, your Wyoming
Valley mechanic will inspect drive axle boots, the operation of the
cooling system, brake fluid levels, the fuel lines and filters, the
engine and in-cabin air filters, a check for coolant leaks, a complete
inspection of steering, exhaust and suspension components, and finally a
reset of all maintenance and warning lights.
For
more information on these inspections, please consult with the service
experts from BMW of Wyoming Valley and your BMW X6 Owner's Manual.
Like
a fine Swiss wristwatch, there are many other complications on your BMW
X6. Among the key items: Your Windshield wipers. They should always be
inspected. Your wipers are just as much a safety item as your brakes and
seat belts, and can make a difference between seeing ahead or not
seeing at all. Because of their very nature and the elements to which
they are exposed, windshield wipers can wear out and it won't always be
the result of overuse.
Extreme high temperatures, Ultra-violet exposure
and bouts of high humidity, can cause one set of problems, and extreme
cold can cause all sorts of others, including causing the wipers and
their arms to break from brittleness. Your BMW mechanics have seen it
before and as a result recommend being proactive and replacing them
every six months.Â
The parts department at BMW of Wyoming Valley are able
to supply you with a new set of factory-approved replacements that will
have your X6's windshield sparkling again. Come in for a visit. Our
team of service professionals will be happy to see you.
While
saying hello, be sure to discuss the benefits of an all-wheel-alignment
on your Wyoming Valley BMW X6 that will help it to perform like it was
new again. Performed by the service experts at BMW of Wyoming Valley
Service department an adjustment not unlike the type you would get from a
chiropractor. But how would you know if your X6 needed it?Â
If you find
yourself driving a vehicle that gently drifts to the left or the right
while you intend for it to go straight is one sure giveaway. But before
sending your BMW X6 for the service, make sure your BMW of Wyoming
Valley mechanic rotates your Sport Activity Vehicle's tires before an
alignment service is performed, to guarantee best practices that will
help equalize wear at all four corners. Your BMW X6 owner's manual
contains more important information on upkeep of your vehicle.
Tires:
Think of tires as the athletic shoes on your BMW X6. Unbalanced and
worn, they are useless if they are not inflated properly or don't have
enough tread to keep you and your vehicle safe while on wet roads.
That's why your Wyoming Valley mechanics recommend a check each month.Â
All it takes is a Penny, and it's so simple even you can do it! First,
reach into your pocket for a token of affection to our 16th President,
Abraham Lincoln, and his Lincoln head penny. Place "Honest Abe" head
first into your X6's tread. If the treads cover "Honest Abe" up to his
ears, then you have plenty of tread left on your tires.Â
If you have
placed him in the groove, and there is any air left above the President,
then it's time for an immediate change. Bald is for eagles, babies and
old men, not your tires. The Parts Department at BMW of Wyoming Valley
will stock exact replacements for your X6, all at competitive prices.
