Should I check my BMW 750iL motor oil level?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your 750iL’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 750iL oil at home?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. 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 also with your vehicle down the road.

Why is my BMW 750iL spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

Where can I get BMW 750iL oil changes?

Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for BMW 750iL oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.

What does it mean if my BMW 750iL oil light comes on?

The oil change light in your BMW 750iL could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.

Does my 750iL's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change?

Every time you change the oil in your BMW 750iL, you should also replace the oil filter. Otherwise, you risk contaminating your brand-new oil with the dirt and debris built up in your old filter.

BMW recommends having your 1998 BMW 750iL’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 750iL in the above table. Your 750iL may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your BMW 750iL. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.
