1998 BMW 528i Maintenance Schedule

You want your BMW 528i to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 528i has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine 528i maintenance. Just follow your 1998 BMW 528i maintenance schedule!

BMW knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 528i's life, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1998 BMW 528i problems later.

Bring your 1998 BMW 528i 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 528i’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 1998 BMW 528i? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 528i may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your BMW 528i 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. 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 528i won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1998 BMW 528i's engine run smoother. To learn how often BMW recommends you have the oil changed in your 1998 528i, check out the information table at the beginning of this page.
