If you own a BMW X5 from the 2009 model year, you will have one of three engine options. In 2009, you could choose between the 3.0L 6-cylinder gasoline engine, the 3.0L 6-cylinder diesel engine, or the 4.8L 8-cylinder engine. The 6-cylinder gasoline engine requires 6.9 quarts of either SAE 0W-30 or SAE 5W-30 motor oil. The diesel version of the same engine needs 7.7 quarts of SAE 5W-30 oil. On the other hand, the 8-cylinder engine utilizes 8.5 quarts of SAE 0W-30 or SAE 5W-30 oil. It is recommended to use the oil with the lowest numbers for better engine efficiency, leading to longer engine life.
