BMW recommends changing your 1984 733i’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 733i in the above table. Outside of BMW-recommended oil change intervals, your 733i may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than BMW recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your BMW 733i. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
