Why check the motor oil level in my BMW X1?

Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your BMW X1 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 X1 oil at home?

Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

Why is my BMW X1 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

Why is the oil light on in my BMW X1?

If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your BMW X1 oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.

Do I need to replace my X1’s oil filter when changing my oil?

You should replace your BMW X1 during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.

How Often to Get 2013 BMW X1 Oil Changes

Need more info about 2013 BMW X1 oil changes? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

BMW recommends having your 2013 BMW X1’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your X1 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by BMW if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your BMW X1. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

What Type of Oil Does My BMW X1 Need?

Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2013 BMW X1 motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. BMW has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 2013 X1.

During an oil change, one of our techs will change your X1’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle.
