What can low oil do to my BMW 740i engine?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your 740i’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

How hard is it to change BMW 740i oil at home?

Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
