Why check the motor oil level in my BMW 650i?

How hard is it to change BMW 650i 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. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.

BMW recommends having your 2018 BMW 650i’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your 650i may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by BMW if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your BMW 650i. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
