The 2018 BMW X3 requires SAE 0w-20 full synthetic oil with a capacity of 5.6 quarts. This oil lubricates internal engine parts, eliminating dirt and impurities to ensure smooth vehicle performance. An oil change for your BMW typically costs between $60 and $70 for labor and $120 to $130 for parts. It is recommended to change the oil every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. Warning signs signaling the need for an oil change include engine noise, transmission issues, idling vibration, smoke from the exhaust, reduced fuel efficiency, and illuminated Check Engine or Oil Change indicator lights.
Pat T., you made a mistake when you mentioned the 3.0L 6-cylinder engine as a 4-cylinder.
The 2018 BMW X3 suggests using SAE 0W-20 oil. The 2.0L 4-cylinder engine can contain 5.6 quarts, while the 3.0L 4-cylinder engine can hold 6.9 quarts with a new filter.
Both the 2.0 and 3.0 liter engines have four cylinders, not six.
