Why check the motor oil level in my BMW X2?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, engine parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and cause your X2’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

How hard is it to change BMW X2 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. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.

Why is my BMW X2 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?

Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, fried piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

Where can I get BMW X2 oil changes?

Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our BMW X2 oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.

What does it mean if my BMW X2 oil light comes on?

If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your BMW X2 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.

Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my BMW X2?

It's recommended that you replace your BMW X2 oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.

How Often to Get 2020 BMW X2 Oil Changes

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2020 BMW X2? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know the ins and outs of 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 changing your 2020 X2’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. No matter the mileage, your X2 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of 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 go long distances at low speeds. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your BMW X2. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.

What Type of Oil Does My BMW X2 Need?

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your BMW X2. BMW has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best motor oil for your 2020 X2. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, regulate engine temperature, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. During an oil change, a technician will change your X2's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your X2 by considering your driving habits, and odometer.
