Should I check my BMW Alpina B7 motor oil level?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your BMW Alpina B7 engine to fail. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.

Can I change my BMW oil on my own?

Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. 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 help your car perform down the road.

Why is my BMW Alpina B7 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

Why is the oil light on in my BMW Alpina B7?

Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my BMW Alpina B7?

You should replace your BMW Alpina B7 during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
