2015 BMW 550i GT xDrive Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my BMW 550i GT xDrive engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your 550i GT xDrive’s engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

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? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
