BMW recommends having your 1997 BMW 740iL’s motor oil changed at regular 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 knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, 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 areas, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. 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 1997 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 1997 740iL. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, regulate engine temperature, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. In an oil change service, an auto technician will change your 740iL’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, check all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your 740iL by considering your driving style, weather and road conditions,
