The 2017 BMW X5 requires 4.3 quarts of SAE 0W-20 oil for the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine and 6.9 quarts of SAE 0W-30 oil for the 3.0L 6-cylinder engine. BMW advises using synthetic oil whenever changing it. There are synthetic and conventional oils available, with synthetic providing better protection and longer oil life compared to conventional, which is petroleum-based. Synthetic oil also requires less frequent changes, typically every 7,500 miles, while conventional oil needs changing every 3,500 to 5,000 miles. It's recommended to check the oil level and condition at least once a month to ensure it's full and clean.

    The 2017 BMW X5 requires fully synthetic oil, but the viscosity differs depending on the engine. The 2.0 4-cylinder engine in the SUV uses SAE 0W-20 oil, with the RWD model holding 4.3 quarts and the AWD model holding 5.1 quarts. On the other hand, the 3.0L V6 engine runs on SAE 0W-30 oil and can hold up to 6.9 quarts.
