Oil Change Q&A for Your 1993 BMW 850Ci

  • Why check the motor oil level in my BMW 850Ci? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to BMW 850Ci engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • How hard is it to change BMW 850Ci oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces 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. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get BMW 850Ci oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our BMW 850Ci oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is my BMW 850Ci oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your BMW 850Ci 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 850Ci's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? Every time you change the oil in your BMW 850Ci, 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.
