★ Top Answer
The 2009 BMW 528i is equipped with a 3.0L 6-cylinder engine in all its versions, requiring 6.9 quarts of SAE 0W-30 synthetic engine oil. While you can use SAE 5W-30 as a substitute in a pinch, it's not recommended for extended periods. The numbers on the oil represent viscosity, with the first indicating startup temperature viscosity and the second for operating temperature viscosity. Higher numbers mean thicker oil, affecting your engine's performance. Opting for the 0W-30 oil, though slightly pricier, will benefit your engine in the long term by reducing wear and tear.
