Maintenance for Your 2018 BMW 530e

What is the maintenance schedule for the 2018 BMW 530e?

Here’s Why 2018 BMW 530e Scheduled Maintenance Matters

When it comes to your BMW 530e, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your 530e could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. 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 530e maintenance. Just follow your 2018 BMW 530e maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by BMW, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of 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 530e's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2018 BMW 530e problems in the future.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your BMW 530e Running Newer, Longer

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2018 BMW 530e for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with 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 530e’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2018 BMW 530e. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your BMW 530e battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 530e stranded. Your BMW 530e won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2018 BMW 530e's engine run smoother. See BMW's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2018 530e in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2018 BMW 530e.

Maintaining your BMW 530e steering and suspension system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions.

  • What do I do if I hit a pothole in my BMW 530e? You know your BMW 530e better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving.

  • When should I switch my BMW 530e to high mileage oil? If your BMW 530e has ticked past 75,000 miles, consider switching to high mileage oil at your next oil change to give your engine what it needs to go another 75,000 (or more!). High mileage oil: make it a high priority!
  •  Why are my BMW dashboard lights on? Don't ignore dashboard warning lights! Bring your BMW 530e in for a diagnostic code scan as soon as a dashboard warning light flashes on, whether it's your check engine or battery light. Dashboard lights alert you to trouble under the hood.
