The Aston Martin V12 Vantage S was produced from 2015 to 2017. This model typically uses 5W-30 full synthetic engine oil — a specification common to most Aston Martin V12-series vehicles.
Selecting the correct oil viscosity for your Aston Martin V12 Vantage S is essential. Using a grade that is too thin reduces protection at operating temperature, while too thick an oil impairs cold-start flow and reduces fuel economy. Always match the exact grade shown for your specific model year.
The recommended oil change interval for the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S is every 7,500 miles or 12 months. Under severe driving conditions — track use, towing, or frequent cold starts — shorten this interval by 25–30%.
When servicing your Aston Martin V12 Vantage S, always replace the oil filter at every oil change. Using a quality filter — such as the Mann or Mahle filters specified for Aston Martin engines — ensures proper oil pressure and prevents unfiltered oil from circulating through the engine.
Oil change costs for the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S at a US dealership or independent European specialist typically range from $120 to $200 for a full synthetic service. DIY oil changes cost approximately $60–$90 in parts (oil + filter) and take about 30 minutes with the right tools.
Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual to confirm the exact specification for your specific trim and engine variant, as some Aston Martin V12 Vantage S configurations may have different requirements.
Aston Martin engines require BMW Longlife-approved full synthetic oil. Using non-approved conventional oil can damage the variable valve timing (VANOS) system and void your warranty.
Aston Martin engines may consume small amounts of oil between services. Check the oil level via the iDrive display or dipstick every 1,000 miles to avoid running low, especially in older models.
