Oil Change Q&A for Your 2017 BMW M240i

  • Why check the motor oil level in my BMW M240i? Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to BMW M240i engine failure. That’s why you should check your oil and get it changed regularly.
  • Can I change my BMW M240i 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. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my BMW M240i spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get BMW M240i oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care for BMW M240i 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 can cause the oil light on my BMW M240i to illuminate? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your BMW M240i oil change reminder light.

  • Do I need to replace my M240i’s oil filter when changing my oil? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your BMW M240i 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?
