BMW suggests using Genuine BMW engine oil in the 2017 BMW X3. Gasoline engines require SAE 0W-30 or SAE 0W-20 viscosity rating, or an equivalent that meets BMW Longlife-01 FE standards. The diesel engine needs 0W-30, or an equivalent meeting BMW Longlife-12 FE criteria. Both the 2.0L 4-cylinder gas and diesel engines hold 5.3 quarts, while the 3.0L 6-cylinder can hold 6.9 quarts. Regularly check the oil level to prevent potential damage from low levels. Overfilling can lead to engine and catalytic converter problems. BMW discourages the use of oil additives, as they may harm the engine.
