I just helped my friend with the maintenance of his BMW 525Li. That B48 2.0T engine requires approximately 5.25 liters of engine oil. I usually start by adding 5 liters, then run the engine for two minutes to circulate the oil, turn it off, wait five minutes, and check the dipstick. The ideal oil level should be at three-quarters of the marked range. If it's not enough, top it up slowly. Remember to use low-ash full synthetic oil with 0W-20 or 0W-30 viscosity, and look for ACEA C2 certification or BMW LL-12FE/LL-17FE+ certification on the packaging. Last time, a buddy tried to save money by using regular oil, and the emission fault light came on after just 3,000 kilometers. Always replace the oil filter with a new one during each oil change—the Mann HU6014Z model is very reliable.
