Should I check my BMW 530i motor oil level?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your 530i’s engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.

How hard is it to change BMW 530i 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 exhaust smoke grayish or blue?

There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

What does it mean if my BMW 530i oil light comes on?

Does my 530i's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change?

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

Your 1995 530i’s oil should be changed according to BMW’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 530i in the above table. Outside of BMW-recommended oil change intervals, your 530i may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by BMW if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your BMW 530i. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
