The 2001 BMW 330i requires SAE 5w-30 engine oil with a 6.9-quart capacity including the filter. Oil plays a crucial role in reducing friction, wear, and internal component corrosion. The cost of an oil change for your BMW typically ranges from $60 to $70 for labor and $130 to $140 for parts. It is recommended to schedule an oil change every 10,000 miles or annually, whichever occurs first. Indications that it's time for a change include engine ticking noises, transmission issues, idle shaking, exhaust smoke, reduced fuel efficiency, and alerts from the Check Engine or Oil Change lights.
Use Castrol 5W-30 European formula or Moly 5W-30 exclusively. Make sure to replace the oil every 6000 miles.
