Oil Change Q&A for Your 2018 BMW 740i xDrive

  • Should I check my BMW 740i xDrive motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine.

That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my BMW 740i xDrive oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my BMW 740i xDrive exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

  • Why is the oil light on in my BMW 740i xDrive? Your BMW 740i xDrive oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change.

  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my BMW 740i xDrive? Every time you change the oil in your BMW 740i xDrive, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.
