The BMW X3 E83's 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine requires 5.6 US quarts of 0W-20 oil along with a filter, while the BMW's 3.0-liter 6-cylinder turbocharged engine needs 6.9 US quarts of the same oil. It is recommended to change the oil and filter every 7,500-10,000 miles or annually using fully synthetic oil. Synthetic oils offer advantages over conventional products such as improved lubrication, longer service intervals, and better performance in extreme weather conditions. The thinner viscosity of oils like 0W-20 allows for easier movement in cold temperatures, effectively coating engine parts for enhanced protection against friction and corrosion. The cost for an oil change with filter typically ranges from $250 to $300 for materials and labor.
In the BMW X3 e83, the amount of oil it can hold ranges from 5.2 to 6.5 liters, varying with the engine size.
