1994 BMW 840Ci Oil Change Questions

  • Why check the motor oil level in my BMW 840Ci? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your BMW 840Ci engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my BMW 840Ci oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. 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.
  • Why is my BMW exhaust smoke gray or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get BMW 840Ci oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs BMW 840Ci oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What does it mean if my BMW 840Ci oil light comes on? The oil change light in your BMW 840Ci 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.
  • Do I need to replace my 840Ci’s oil filter when changing my oil? It's recommended that you replace your BMW 840Ci 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.
