★ Top Answer
Every 2002 BMW 325i model is equipped with a 2.5L 6-cylinder engine, meaning you'll need the same type and amount of oil regardless of the specific trim level or options package you have. For a complete oil change, use 6.9 quarts of SAE 5W-30 full synthetic motor oil (European formulation is suggested) along with a filter. Should you face a situation where this oil is not available, you can use either SAE 5W-40 or SAE 0W-40 temporarily. Avoid switching to a thicker oil for an extended period as it may increase friction in the engine, leading to premature wear and potential early engine failure. Opt for the recommended oil with the lowest weight, even if it is slightly more expensive per change, to ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.
