★ Top Answer
The 2006 BMW X3 runs on SAE 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil and holds 6.5 quarts. It's recommended to swap out the oil every 7,500 miles or annually, whichever comes first. Regular oil changes can extend your engine's life, improve gas mileage, and boost performance. Changing the oil and filter routinely helps eliminate debris and sludge from the engine. Neglecting oil changes can lead to various engine issues over time as the oil becomes thinner, abrasive, and starts damaging vital parts of the engine.
