Need more info about 1993 BMW M5 oil changes? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Your 1993 M5’s oil should be changed according to BMW’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your M5 in the above table. Outside of BMW-recommended oil change intervals, your M5 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, 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 terrain, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your BMW M5. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1993 BMW M5

  • Should I check my BMW M5 motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine.

That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • How hard is it to change BMW M5 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 also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my BMW M5 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. 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 worn cylinder walls.
  • Who offers BMW M5 oil changes? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your BMW M5 oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.

  • Does my M5's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your BMW M5 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?
