Engine oil change question

MH20jy · 03-10-2021, 11:16 PM

Hey guys I currently have 2018 X5 35i X drive, close to 50k mileage. I plan to do an oil change soon. The manual calls 5w-20/30 oil but did not mention about the volume. Is it 6.5qt or 7qt? I also see 7L from YouTube videos. Not sure how much I need to replace.

I just changed the oil in my F15 a few weeks ago. I ordered the 7L oil change kit from fceuro.com. I only replaced what I drained which was roughly around 6.25L. Good luck.

The N55 I6 engine uses 6.5 liters (which is equivalent to 6.87 quarts...which can be rounded up to 7 quarts) according to the BMW TIS:

Mobil Oil was "kicked to the curb" a few years ago. Shell is the current oil company on the arm of corporate BMW...and it appears they will be there until at least 2022...then its up in the air who will be next.

Pennzoil is dirt cheap in the states, so they switched to it.
