What can low oil do to my BMW 528i engine?

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 excess heat, and cause your 528i’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

Can I change my BMW 528i oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d 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 528i spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

Who does BMW 528i oil changes?

You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your BMW 528i oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.

What does it mean if my BMW 528i oil light comes on?

If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your BMW 528i oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.

Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my BMW 528i?

It's recommended that you replace your BMW 528i 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.

BMW recommends having your 2000 BMW 528i’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 528i in the above table. Outside of BMW-recommended oil change intervals, your 528i may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your BMW 528i. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.
