Overview of Essential BMW 525i Maintenance Needs

Bring your 1990 BMW 525i to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your 525i’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1990 BMW 525i. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 525i may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your BMW 525i battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your BMW 525i could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1990 BMW 525i running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1990 525i.

Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1990 BMW 525i? We can help with that, too!
