1998 BMW 740iL Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my BMW 740iL? 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 BMW 740iL engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my BMW 740iL 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 changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my BMW exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my BMW 740iL? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your BMW 740iL oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • Why is the oil light on in my BMW 740iL? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your BMW 740iL 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 740iL's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your BMW 740iL oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
