2014 BMW 550i GT xDrive Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my BMW 550i GT xDrive engine? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your 550i GT xDrive’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my BMW 550i GT xDrive oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil 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 550i GT xDrive spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does BMW 550i GT xDrive oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your BMW 550i GT xDrive oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What does it mean if my BMW 550i GT xDrive oil light comes on? Your BMW 550i GT xDrive oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change.

  • Does my 550i GT xDrive's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your BMW 550i GT xDrive every time you change the oil.
