It is recommended that BMW 5 Series owners perform regular maintenance every 10,000 kilometers. Before reaching 60,000 kilometers, the maintenance primarily alternates between oil and filter changes and the replacement of the oil and three filters. A comprehensive fluid replacement service is typically conducted at the 60,000-kilometer mark. BMW 5 Series maintenance precautions: Avoid sucking oil pipes with your mouth: Gasoline is not only flammable and explosive but also toxic. Leaded gasoline, in particular, can harm the nervous system, digestive tract, and kidneys. Additionally, gasoline contains high concentrations of sulfides, and since hydrogen sulfide is also somewhat toxic, ingesting gasoline can lead to poisoning or death. Avoid contact with carburetor cleaner: Most carburetor cleaners contain methyl chloride, aromatic compounds, and ethanol, all of which are toxic to some extent.

What does it mean to check the power steering system?

The appearance of a "check power steering system" message indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's computer system. When this situation occurs, it is necessary to inspect the vehicle's power steering system: 1. Check steering operation force: Inspect for belt slippage or damage, whether the steering pump's output pressure or oil volume is below standard, if air has entered the hydraulic fluid, or if there are any issues with the oil pipes being crushed or twisted. 2. System pressure inspection: Connect the pressure gauge and throttle valve, open the throttle valve, start the engine and let it idle. Turn the steering wheel to the left and right extreme positions while reading the pressure on the gauge. The standard value is 6.8~8.2 MPa; if the standard values for left and right turns are not met, the steering gear should be repaired or the assembly replaced.
