Should I check my BMW 328Ci 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 cause your 328Ci’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

How hard is it to change BMW 328Ci oil at home?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my BMW exhaust smoke gray or blue?
