How Often to Change 2007 BMW X5 Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2007 BMW X5? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just 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 2007 BMW X5’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your X5 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 vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by BMW if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your BMW X5. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
