Why check the motor oil level in my BMW 535i?

Can I change my BMW 535i 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 also help your car perform down the road.

BMW recommends changing your 1992 535i’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 535i in the above table.
