For optimal performance in the 2018 BMW X5, it is recommended to use 0W-30 oil in any temperature. The vehicle can hold 6.9 quarts of oil with a filter for the 3.0 L 6-cylinder and the 3.0 L 6-cylinder diesel engines, and 10 quarts with a filter for the 4.4 L V8 engine. The drain plug should be torqued to 18 ft/lbs. Regular oil changes are crucial for maintaining a clean and efficient engine. It is advised to change the oil and filter every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or when the oil life indicator prompts. The typical cost of an oil change, including labor, ranges from $40 to $60.
