2011 BMW Alpina B7L xDrive Oil Change Questions

  • What can low oil do to my BMW Alpina B7L xDrive engine? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your Alpina B7L xDrive’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? 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. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my BMW Alpina B7L xDrive exhaust smoke grayish or blue? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does BMW Alpina B7L xDrive oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs BMW Alpina B7L xDrive 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 Alpina B7L xDrive oil light illuminated? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your BMW Alpina B7L xDrive 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.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my BMW Alpina B7L xDrive? Every time you change the oil in your BMW Alpina B7L xDrive, 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.
