What can low oil do to my BMW 325is engine?

How hard is it to change BMW 325is oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

Why is my BMW 325is exhaust smoke grayish or blue?

Does my 325is's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change?

BMW recommends having your 1990 BMW 325is’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 325is in the above table. Outside of BMW-recommended oil change intervals, your 325is may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt 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.
