Pakistan’s driving environment can be tough on any vehicle, and the BMW 2 Series is no exception:

Extreme Temperatures:
High ambient temperatures, especially during summer, can accelerate oil breakdown and evaporation, leading to increased consumption.

Dusty and Polluted Roads:
Dust and airborne particles may infiltrate the engine bay, potentially affecting oil quality and causing increased wear on engine seals and components.

Stop-and-Go Traffic:
Frequent idling and acceleration in congested urban traffic stress the engine, which can increase oil burn-off.

Poor Road Conditions:
Uneven and rough roads can cause vibrations and additional stress on engine components, which may contribute to premature wear and, consequently, higher oil consumption.
