I have been using the Castrol 5w-30 euro blend, 5 quart jug at Walmart. It's not LL-01FE certified, but it is LL-01 certified and the owners manual says it's OK. Would like to find the FE one but can't find anything locally.
I buy the BMW oil filter. It's like the same price online as Autozone, so not much a savings there. |

Last time I checked For my X3MC that Pennzoil from NG (Nat Gas) 0-20 for the s58 engine was what BMW was using. May have changed to Castroil. bMW changes now and then but always very high end. WalMart for Pennsoil. The S58 engine -must- use 0-20. Some tight complications in the heads.
Our dealer changed the oil in the Engine and the rear Diff at 2000 miles. Said BMW required it. Very fine with me. I know not x5 but we have one ordered and just browsing making believe it’s here. Last edited by Edmund1812; 09-26-2021 at 06:43 PM.. |
