In the 2016 BMW 535i with a 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo engine, you should use synthetic SAE 5W-30 oil. After draining the pan and replacing the filter, it requires 6.9 quarts. Do not exceed 18 pound feet of torque on the oil drain plug. For a budget-friendly option, you can opt for the Mann-Filter HU816XEA at $21.40, but do not compromise on the oil quality; synthetic oils are recommended for better performance and longer intervals between changes in your BMW. Consider using 0W-30 for colder climates and up to 10W-40 for warmer areas. Since around 2015, BMW has been endorsing Shell/Pennzoil PurePlus Oils for aftermarket purchases.
The recommended oil for a 2016 BMW 535i is 1 liter of synthetic SAE 0W-30 motor oil.
