2017 BMW 535i GT Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your BMW 535i GT and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 535i GT. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine 535i GT maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2017 BMW 535i GT!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by BMW, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 535i GT's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2017 BMW 535i GT problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2017 BMW 535i GT for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your 535i GT. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 2017 BMW 535i GT be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your 535i GT may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your BMW 535i GT battery. 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 535i GT stranded. Your BMW 535i GT won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2017 BMW 535i GT running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2017 535i GT. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2017 BMW 535i GT.
