Hey Fixter, how long do car fluids last?

Different car fluids will last for varying amounts of time, therefore it's very important to check the fluids in your vehicle roughly every 4-6 months. Low or used up fluids can lead to serious and expensive engine damage.

Our reviews

Takes a lot of stress away

I would definitely recommend this company: knowing someone was keeping an eye on everything to make sure I wasn't being overcharged for parts and labour takes a lot of stress out of having the work done. I felt really well looked after. Thank you Fixter.

Kathleen Hodge, West Yorkshire

Excellent service

Excellent service. On time to pick up my car & drop it back. Full service cost £179, main dealer quoted me £700-lots different!

Muhammad, Birmingham

Total game-changer!

Just had my MOT done through Fixter for the first time. It took about 5 minutes of my time in total to book, hand over the key, and get it back when the car was returned. So I was able to carry on looking after my 2 year old. Total game-changer!

Oliver Woodford, London

No need to drive to a garage

Can't get more convenient than someone turning up, taking the car from the house for its MOT and returning it a few hours later. No having to drive to a garage (often miles from anywhere or in the middle of an industrial estate) or hanging around waiting.

Darren, Pontefract

I literally cannot fault them

This is the 3rd time I have used Fixter and I recommend to everyone. It makes getting an MOT super easy for me. Everyone I speak to on the phone is incredibly helpful and polite, and they seem to be the most cost effective. I literally cannot fault them.

BMW

BMW AG is a German automobile and motorcycle manufacturer that was established over 100 years ago in March 1916. They also own Mini and Rolls Royce, after taking over the two British marques in 2000 and 1998 respectively.

BMW makes luxury vehicles and is possibly most famous for its sports saloon models. In 2018, BMW had 1.9m vehicles on the roads in the UK, a number that has been steadily increasing each year for the past decade.

As one of the ‘big 3’ German marques, along with Audi and Mercedes, BMW carries a strong reputation for making high-quality stylish vehicles, and have captured a large section of the UK market.

Luxury family and business models for every driver

Probably most popular for the 3 Series and 5 Series saloon models, BMW has got every possible angle covered for the more discerning drivers.

The full range includes everything from the 1 Series city car to the full-size saloons and sports coupes of the 7 and 8 Series models.

To provide everything you’d ever need for family motoring there’s a seven-seat MPV, their range of X model SUVs, and since 2014, the introduction of their plug-in electric i models. Top it all off with their M model high-performance supercars, the Z4 convertible and the i8 Roadster—and you’ve got the full package.

BMW: High performance on and off the track

BMW has a successful history in a range of motorsports.

They have been significant performers in touring car racing and rally driving, enjoyed success in Formula One with the BMW Sauber team, and BMW cars have been regular competitors and winners at Le Mans since the race’s early years.

BMW’s reliability and reputation

BMW ranked 16th place out of 30 car brands in the What Car? Reliability Survey in 2018. BMW hasn’t always had the best reputation for reliability but to rank alongside marques such as Honda, Volkswagen and Fiat they’re holding their own alongside plenty of the other big names.

What do the fluids in my car do?

Maintaining the fluid levels play a huge role in almost every function of your car - including fuel economy and longevity. Some of the fluids, such as engine oil, must remain at a good level for the proper functioning of your engine. Failing to keep an eye on your car’s fluids could spell disaster and an expensive repair bill down the line!

How do I know if my car fluids are low?

  • Burning oil smell in and around your car

  • Strange noises

How long do car fluids last?

Different car fluids will last for varying amounts of time, therefore it's very important to check the fluids in your vehicle roughly every 4-6 months. Low or used up fluids can lead to serious and expensive engine damage. Having certain fluids in your car, such as windscreen wiper fluid, is a legal requirement in the UK.

Can I drive with low fluids?

When some fluids are low you should avoid driving your car. For example, driving with little or no engine oil can result in a seized engine, which is very expensive to fix! Topping up your car fluids is part of good car maintenance and ensures the healthy functioning of your car. In the UK, it’s the law that some fluids, such as windscreen wiper fluid, must remain topped up at all times. So book your free fluids check now to avoid a dirty windscreen and unexpected fines!
