★ Top Answer
In 2012, the BMW X5 offers three engine options: a 3.0L 6-cylinder, a 3.0L 6-cylinder diesel, and a 4.4L V8. The most common engine, the 3.0L 6-cylinder, requires 6.9 quarts of SAE 0W-30 oil. The diesel version needs 7.7 quarts of the same oil, while the V8 requires 9.0 quarts of SAE 0W-30 synthetic engine oil. While you can use SAE 5W-30 oil temporarily, it is not recommended for long-term use due to reduced efficiency and premature engine aging. It is advisable to stick with the recommended oil with lower viscosity, even if it costs slightly more per oil change.
