Oil Change Q&A for Your 2010 BMW 535i xDrive

  • Why check the motor oil level in my BMW 535i xDrive? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your BMW 535i xDrive engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change BMW 535i xDrive oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my BMW 535i xDrive exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get BMW 535i xDrive oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your BMW 535i 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 my BMW 535i xDrive oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your BMW 535i 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.
  • Does my 535i xDrive's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your BMW 535i xDrive during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
