1 Answers
BMW X3 requires 4.8L of engine oil for an oil change. It is recommended to use full synthetic oils from brands such as Mobil, Shell, and Castrol for the BMW X3, as this vehicle is equipped with a turbocharged engine, which necessitates higher-performance oil for engine protection. Below is relevant information about engine oil: Introduction: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, with a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide cushioning for the engine. It is often referred to as the 'blood' of the car. Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary constituent of lubricants, determining their fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and enhance the performance of the base oil, imparting new characteristics and making them an essential part of lubricants. Classification: Engine oils on the market can be broadly categorized into mineral oils and synthetic oils based on their base oil (vegetable oils are not considered due to their scarcity). Synthetic oils are further divided into full synthetic and semi-synthetic.
