BMW recommends having your 2015 BMW ActiveHybrid 7’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your ActiveHybrid 7 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your BMW ActiveHybrid 7. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2015 BMW ActiveHybrid 7

  • What can low oil do to my BMW ActiveHybrid 7 engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your ActiveHybrid 7’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my BMW oil on my own? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil 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? 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 caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get BMW ActiveHybrid 7 oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our BMW ActiveHybrid 7 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.
  • What does it mean if my BMW ActiveHybrid 7 oil light comes on? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your BMW ActiveHybrid 7 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 change my ActiveHybrid 7's oil filter when I get an oil change? Every time you change the oil in your BMW ActiveHybrid 7, 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.
