What can low oil do to my BMW 735iL engine?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your 735iL’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

Can I change my BMW 735iL 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. 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 735iL spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?
