2016 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my BMW ActiveHybrid 5 engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to BMW ActiveHybrid 5 engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my BMW oil on my own? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my BMW ActiveHybrid 5 exhaust smoke grayish 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 the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers BMW ActiveHybrid 5 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs BMW ActiveHybrid 5 oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • Why is my BMW ActiveHybrid 5 oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your BMW ActiveHybrid 5 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.
  • Does my ActiveHybrid 5's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? Every time you change the oil in your BMW ActiveHybrid 5, 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.
