Oil Change Q&A for Your 2016 BMW 340i xDrive

  • What can low oil do to my BMW 340i xDrive engine? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your 340i xDrive’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my BMW 340i xDrive oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. 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 340i xDrive exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my BMW 340i xDrive? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our BMW 340i 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.
  • Why is my BMW 340i xDrive oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your BMW 340i 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.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my BMW 340i xDrive? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your BMW 340i xDrive every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
