Should I check my BMW 325is motor oil level?

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. 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 it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

Why is my BMW 325is spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

Do I need to change my 325is's oil filter when I get an oil change?
