Your 1985 524td’s oil should be changed according to BMW’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

1985 BMW 524td Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my BMW 524td? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your 524td’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my BMW 524td 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 also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my BMW exhaust smoke gray 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 the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who does BMW 524td oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our BMW 524td 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 the oil light on in my BMW 524td? Your BMW 524td oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my 524td's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your BMW 524td 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.
