The 2013 BMW 550i requires SAE 5w-40 full synthetic oil with a 9.5-quart capacity for proper functioning. This oil plays a crucial role in keeping your car's engine cool, lubricated, and preventing excessive wear and damage by ensuring that moving parts do not grind against each other. The cost of an oil change for your BMW typically ranges from $50 to $60 for labor and $160 to $180 for parts. It is recommended to have an oil change every 7,500 miles. Signs that indicate you need an oil change while driving include engine noise, ticking sounds from the engine, transmission shifting problems, shaking during idling, and decreased fuel efficiency. External signs that signal a need for an oil change include smoke from the exhaust and oil leaks where the vehicle is parked.
The recommended oil for the 2013 BMW 550i is Pento High Performance 5W-30 synthetic motor oil.
