Oil Change Q&A for Your 1994 BMW 850CSi

  • What can low oil do to my BMW 850CSi engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your BMW 850CSi engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my BMW 850CSi oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. 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 850CSi spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

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 can cause the oil light on my BMW 850CSi to illuminate? The oil change light in your BMW 850CSi could be triggered by an overdue oil change.
