Your Guide to 2021 BMW X5 Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your BMW X5, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your X5 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get X5 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2021 BMW X5!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, BMW themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your X5's life, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2021 BMW X5 problems later.

Essential Maintenance to Keep Your BMW X5 Running Newer, Longer

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2021 BMW X5 and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your X5’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2021 BMW X5? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your BMW X5 battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty X5) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your BMW X5 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2021 BMW X5's engine run smoother. See BMW's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2021 X5 in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2021 BMW X5? We can help with that, too!

Maintaining your BMW X5 steering and suspension system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform BMW X5 suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your BMW X5's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine BMW X5 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your BMW X5 engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is it time to replace the radiator in your BMW X5? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2021 BMW X5 maintenance.
