How many liters of engine oil should be added to a BMW X1?

BMW X1 maintenance generally requires 4.5L of engine oil. Below is relevant information about engine oil: 1. Engine oil is as crucial to an engine as blood is to the heart. The engine is the heart of a car, containing many metal surfaces that move against each other under high-speed, harsh conditions, with operating temperatures reaching 400°C to 600°C. 2. There is rapid relative sliding between the piston and cylinder, as well as between the main shaft and bearing bush. To prevent excessive wear of parts, an oil film must be established between these sliding surfaces. A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of the relatively sliding parts, thereby reducing wear. Engine oil also helps cool the engine by carrying heat back to the oil tank and then dissipating it into the air through the radiator.
