The 2004 BMW 325i is equipped with a 2.5L engine that requires full synthetic or synthetic blended 5W-30 motor oil. This engine holds approximately 6.9 US quarts of oil with the filter included. To remove the oil drain plug, a 17mm socket is required, and if using a torque wrench, it should be set to 25 lbs-ft of torque. If you decide to change the oil yourself, you can expect to spend around $30 to $40 on fluids. Alternatively, taking your car to a shop for an oil change will cost between $110 and $140.
