BMW recommends having your 2011 BMW Alpina B7L’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Alpina B7L in the above table. Outside of BMW-recommended oil change intervals, your Alpina B7L may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than BMW recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances.

2011 BMW Alpina B7L Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my BMW Alpina B7L motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your BMW Alpina B7L 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 B7L oil at home? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. 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 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, damaged piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my BMW Alpina B7L? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for BMW Alpina B7L oil changes. In addition to changing your oil, our experienced technicians also perform oil filter replacements, troubleshoot oil leaks, and suggest the correct oil to help keep your engine performing its best.
  • What does it mean if my BMW Alpina B7L oil light comes on? Your BMW Alpina B7L oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Does my Alpina B7L's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your BMW Alpina B7L every time you change the oil. After all, what’s the point of changing our oil if you’re just going to send fresh, clean engine oil through an already dirty filter?
