What can low oil do to my BMW 535i engine?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your BMW 535i engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

Can I change my BMW 535i 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. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my BMW 535i spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

Where can I get BMW 535i oil changes?

Why is my BMW 535i oil light illuminated?

Your BMW 535i oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.

Does my 535i's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change?

You should replace your BMW 535i 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.
