General maintenance

General maintenance

• Filters
• 02 sensor
• Oil service
• Spark plugs
• V belts

The Bmw E34 maintenance consists of three groups (I created PDF files to help you tracking the maintenance you have done):
Oil service (every 7,500 miles or 6 months)
Inspection I (every 15,000 miles or 12 months)
Inspection II (every other 15,000 miles or 24 months)
Additional service includes:

Oxygen sensor replacement (every 60,000 miles or 100,000 miles for '95)
Brake/clutch fluid replacement (every 2 years)
Timing belt replacement (M20 every 60,000 miles - 100,000km or 4 years)
Coolant replacement (every 2 years)
A/C microfilter replacement ('90 on)
V-belts (every four years)
The E34 has a service interval computer to indicate when the maintenance is due, you might want to note the mileage on a service book instead....
