Should I check my BMW M850i xDrive motor oil level?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these components can grind against each other, generate excess heat, and cause your BMW M850i xDrive 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. 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 with your vehicle down the road.
