When to Change 2010 BMW Z4 Engine Oil

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2010 BMW Z4? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

BMW recommends changing your 2010 Z4’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Your Z4 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle 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 at low speeds on long distance trips. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your BMW Z4. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Z4 by taking into account your driving habits, weather and road conditions,

2010 BMW Z4 Oil Change Q&A

  • Why check the motor oil level in my BMW Z4? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these parts can grind together, overheat, and eventually lead to BMW Z4 engine failure. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.
  • Can I change my BMW Z4 oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my BMW Z4 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. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my BMW Z4? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs BMW Z4 oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What does it mean if my BMW Z4 oil light comes on? The oil change light in your BMW Z4 could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Does my Z4's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It's recommended that you replace your BMW Z4 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.
