Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1996 BMW 740iL? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”
Your 1996 740iL’s oil should be changed according to BMW’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 740iL in the above table. Outside of BMW-recommended oil change intervals, your 740iL may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, 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, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your BMW 740iL. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 1996 BMW 740iL motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. BMW has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the ideal engine oil for your 1996 740iL. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, regulate engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. During your oil change service, one of our techs will change your 740iL’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your 740iL by taking into account your driving preferences, and the number of miles on your odometer.
