1985 BMW 524td Maintenance

You want your BMW 524td to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 524td. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get 524td maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1985 BMW 524td!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by BMW, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 524td's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1985 BMW 524td problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1985 BMW 524td for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your 524td's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 1985 BMW 524td be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your BMW 524td battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 524td stranded. Your BMW 524td won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1985 BMW 524td running newer, longer. To learn how often BMW recommends you have the oil changed in your 1985 524td, check out the information table at the beginning of this page.
