2016 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe 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 Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. 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 Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who offers BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe 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 Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe oil light comes on? The oil change light in your BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe 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 Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
