The 2013 BMW 535i is equipped with a powerful 3.0L V6 engine that generates 300 horsepower. To keep this engine running smoothly, you'll need to use either 5W-30 or 5W-40 synthetic motor oil. The oil capacity is 6.9 US quarts, including the filter. When using a power tool to remove the oil drain plug, you'll need a 17mm socket and apply 25 lbs-ft of torque. If you prefer a hand tool, make sure to use a 17mm socket with your wrench.

    The BMW 535i from 2013 needs synthetic motor oil with a viscosity of 5W-30.

    To start, it has a inline 6 engine, not a V6. It needs either 0W-40 or 5W-40 oil. Some recommend using 5W-30 simply because it's easier to find in the United States. BMW engines are known for their frequent bearing failures, which can be attributed to two main factors: the recommended oil change interval being too long and the use of incorrect oil.
