The 2014 BMW X3 requires 5.3 US quarts of 5W-30 high-performance motor oil for the 2.0 liter engine, and 7 US quarts for the 3.0 liter engine. BMW advises changing the oil and filter every 7,500 - 10,000 miles or 12 months with fully synthetic products, or every 3,000 - 5,000 miles if using conventional oil. Synthetic oil offers superior lubrication, extends service intervals, and performs better in cold weather compared to conventional oil. Branded oils provide up to twice as much protection against corrosion than aftermarket alternatives. Recommended motor oils for the BMW X3 are Pento High Performance or Valvoline SynPower SAE 5W-30. The cost for an oil and filter change for the BMW X3 typically ranges from $170 to $200 including parts and labor.
BMW recommends using engine oils that meet the specified viscosity requirements for the 2014 BMW X3 models. The approved SAE oil classifications for these vehicles are 0W-40, 0W-30, 5W-40, and 5W-30. The engine oil capacity for the 3.0L engine in the 2014 BMW X3 is 6.9 US Quarts (6.5 liters), while the capacity for the 2.0L engine is 5.1 US Quarts (4.8 liters).
