In 2004 BMW X5, you have three choices for engine oil: 5w30 or 5w40 synthetic oils. The 3.0l v6 base motor requires 7.9 quarts of oil, while both the 4.4l v8 and 4.8l v8 engines need 8.5 quarts. The price of oil can vary between $5 and $10, depending on the brand and thickness. It's recommended to go for synthetic oil over conventional oil because it is more powerful and lasts longer. With traditional oil, you should change it every 3000-5000 miles, whereas synthetic oil can last between 5000-7500 miles before needing a refill.
