How Often to Change 2011 BMW 535i xDrive Oil

Not sure how or where to get your BMW 535i xDrive’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

BMW recommends changing your 2011 535i xDrive’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Outside of BMW-recommended oil change intervals, your 535i xDrive may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than BMW recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your BMW 535i xDrive. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

2011 BMW 535i xDrive Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my BMW 535i xDrive motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to BMW 535i xDrive engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my BMW 535i xDrive oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my BMW exhaust smoke gray or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

  • What does it mean if my BMW 535i xDrive oil light comes on? Your BMW 535i xDrive oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change.

  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my BMW 535i xDrive? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your BMW 535i xDrive every time you change the oil.
