BMW recommends having your 2021 BMW 740i xDrive’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your 740i xDrive may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

2021 BMW 740i xDrive Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my BMW 740i xDrive? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your 740i xDrive’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 oil on my own? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my BMW 740i xDrive spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my BMW 740i xDrive? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our BMW 740i xDrive oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What can cause the oil light on my BMW 740i xDrive to illuminate? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your BMW 740i xDrive oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Does my 740i xDrive's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your BMW 740i xDrive every time you change the oil.
