The 2010 BMW X5 V6 models require 6.7 quarts of oil, while the V8 models need 8.5 quarts. Both engines call for SAE 5W-30 oil, with BMW advising the use of synthetic oil for optimal performance. There are two main types of oil available: conventional, which is older technology, and synthetic, which utilizes advanced technology and engineering to provide enhanced protection and longer lifespan. Synthetic oil only needs to be changed every 7,500 miles, compared to conventional oil that requires changing every 3,500 to 5,000 miles. It is recommended to check your oil levels at least once a month to ensure it remains at the appropriate level and free from any contaminants or damage.
For the 2010 BMW X5, it's recommended to use oil that meets BMW Standards, such as SAE classifications like 0W-40, 0W-30, 5W-40, and 5W-30. The engine oil capacity for the X30i and X35i models is 6.7 US quarts, for the X48i it's 8.2 US quarts, and for the X50i it's 8.7 US quarts.
