Should I check my BMW 325iX motor oil level?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to BMW 325iX engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

Can I change my BMW 325iX 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 changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.

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

What does it mean if my BMW 325iX oil light comes on?
