Why check the motor oil level in my BMW 530i xDrive?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your 530i xDrive’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

Can I change my BMW 530i 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 530i xDrive exhaust smoke grayish or blue?

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 the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.

Where can I get BMW 530i xDrive oil changes?

You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your BMW 530i xDrive oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.

Why is the oil light on in my BMW 530i xDrive?

The oil change light in your BMW 530i xDrive could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.

Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my BMW 530i xDrive?

It's recommended that you replace your BMW 530i xDrive 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.
