Oil Change Q&A for Your 2017 BMW 340i GT xDrive

  • Should I check my BMW 340i GT xDrive motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to BMW 340i GT xDrive engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change BMW 340i GT xDrive 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 340i GT xDrive exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get BMW 340i GT xDrive oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our BMW 340i GT xDrive 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.
  • What can cause the oil light on my BMW 340i GT xDrive to illuminate? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your BMW 340i GT xDrive oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Do I need to change my 340i GT xDrive's oil filter when I get an oil change? It's recommended that you replace your BMW 340i GT xDrive oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
