BMW recommends having your 2016 BMW M235i xDrive’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2016 BMW M235i xDrive

  • Should I check my BMW M235i xDrive motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your BMW M235i xDrive 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 M235i xDrive oil at home? 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 M235i 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. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get BMW M235i xDrive oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs BMW M235i 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 the oil light on in my BMW M235i xDrive? Your BMW M235i xDrive oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Do I need to change my M235i xDrive's oil filter when I get an oil change? Every time you change the oil in your BMW M235i 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.
