The 2006 BMW 330i requires 5 quarts of SAE 5W-30 motor oil for a complete fill. BMW suggests using full synthetic oil for optimal performance. There are two main types of motor oil: synthetic and conventional. Synthetic oil, which is created in a laboratory, provides superior protection for your engine's moving parts compared to conventional, petroleum-based oil. Synthetic oil also has a longer lifespan, allowing you to change it every 7,500 miles as opposed to the 3,500 to 5,000-mile interval for conventional oil. It is crucial to monitor your oil levels regularly to ensure they are at the proper level and free from any debris. Darkened oil could indicate debris or engine burning and should be investigated promptly.
