The 2005 BMW X5 3.0i requires SAE 5w-30 motor oil, holding 7.9 quarts with a new filter. Engine oil plays a crucial role in reducing friction and wear, as well as preventing or minimizing internal component corrosion. The approximate cost for an oil change on your BMW ranges from $50 to $60 for labor and $160 to $170 for parts. It is recommended to have your oil changed every 5,000 to 7,000 miles. Indications that an oil change is due include engine ticking noises, transmission shifting problems, idling vibrations, exhaust smoke, decreased fuel efficiency, and the illumination of the Check Engine or Oil Change warning lights.
The recommended oil for the 2005 BMW X5 3.0i is a synthetic 5W-30 blend.
