Should I check my BMW 528i xDrive motor oil level?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your BMW 528i xDrive engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

How hard is it to change BMW 528i xDrive oil at home?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of 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 528i xDrive spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?
