2013 BMW 550i GT xDrive Maintenance Schedule

You want your BMW 550i GT xDrive to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your 550i GT xDrive. 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 550i GT xDrive maintenance. Just follow your 2013 BMW 550i GT xDrive maintenance schedule!

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 fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your 550i GT xDrive's life, increase your vehicle safety, and prevent common 2013 BMW 550i GT xDrive problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2013 BMW 550i GT xDrive and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your 550i GT xDrive. 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 2013 BMW 550i GT xDrive 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 550i GT xDrive may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your BMW 550i GT xDrive battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 550i GT xDrive stranded. Your BMW 550i GT xDrive won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
