The 2002 BMW X5 requires 7.9 quarts of 5w30 oil. It is important to monitor the oil to avoid potential issues. A common problem is a strong burning odor, which should be addressed promptly to prevent any serious complications like engine failure or even an explosion. Using low-quality oil may also lead to engine problems such as knocking noises and reduced fuel efficiency. Regularly changing the oil, ideally every 5,000 to 10,000 miles, is crucial to keep the engine running smoothly and to prevent any engine malfunctions. Failure to change the oil regularly can result in major engine issues.
