2014 BMW ActiveHybrid 3 Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my BMW ActiveHybrid 3 engine? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and eventually lead to BMW ActiveHybrid 3 engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my BMW ActiveHybrid 3 oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d 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 with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my BMW ActiveHybrid 3 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get BMW ActiveHybrid 3 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs BMW ActiveHybrid 3 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 ActiveHybrid 3 oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your BMW ActiveHybrid 3 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.
  • Do I need to replace my ActiveHybrid 3’s oil filter when changing my oil? Every time you change the oil in your BMW ActiveHybrid 3, 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.
