To maintain your 2009 BMW X5 with the 4.8 L V8 engine, use either 5W-30 synthetic or 0W-30 synthetic oil at all temperatures. The vehicle holds 8.5 quarts of oil with a filter. Synthetic oil, made from chemical compounds, has fewer impurities compared to conventional oil. Regularly changing the oil and filter every 5,000 to 7,000 miles can help keep the engine clean and running smoothly, potentially extending the vehicle's lifespan. Optimal oil changes are necessary because oil degrades over time. Expect an oil change to cost between $40 to $60 for labor, with additional fees for parts.
