2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your BMW ActiveHybrid 5, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your ActiveHybrid 5. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine ActiveHybrid 5 maintenance. Just follow your 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 maintenance schedule!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by BMW, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your ActiveHybrid 5 running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 problems.

Bring your 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your ActiveHybrid 5. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your BMW ActiveHybrid 5 battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your BMW ActiveHybrid 5 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can help your 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 5's engine run smoother. See BMW's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2013 ActiveHybrid 5 in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 5.
