How Often to Change 1989 BMW 325is Oil

Need more info about 1989 BMW 325is oil changes? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

BMW recommends having your 1989 BMW 325is’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your 325is may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by BMW if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your BMW 325is. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

What’s the Right Type of Oil for 1989 BMW 325is?

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1989 BMW 325is motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. BMW has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 1989 325is.

During your oil change service, an auto technician will change your 325is’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your 325is by taking into account your driving style, and odometer.

1989 BMW 325is Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my BMW 325is engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your BMW 325is engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my BMW 325is oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my BMW 325is spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does BMW 325is oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our BMW 325is oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is my BMW 325is oil light illuminated? Your BMW 325is oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Do I need to replace my 325is’s oil filter when changing my oil? Every time you change the oil in your BMW 325is, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
