How much engine oil should be added to the BMW 525 2.0t engine?
2 Answers
It is recommended to add between 4.5L and 5L. Here is some relevant information: 1. Body dimensions: This car is a mid-to-large-sized sedan with a body length of 5106mm, width of 1868mm, height of 1500mm, a wheelbase of 3105mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 68L. 2. Powertrain configuration: The BMW 525Li features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It adopts a rear-wheel-drive layout and is equipped with a 2.0t turbocharged engine that delivers a maximum horsepower of 184ps, a maximum power of 135kw, and a maximum torque of 290nm. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving a BMW 525 for several years, and the 2.0T engine typically requires about 5.2 liters of engine oil. During the last maintenance, the technician used 5.5 liters of full synthetic oil, saying that BMW engines are quite delicate and must use oil of either 5W-30 or 0W-40 grade that meets the BMW LL-04 specification. Before adding oil, the engine needs to be warmed up for a few minutes, then turned off and wait for five minutes before checking the dipstick to ensure the oil level is between the minimum and maximum marks. Don't overfill, as excess oil can increase oil pressure issues and even damage turbocharger components. I think it's a good habit to check the oil level before driving every month, and changing the oil regularly every 5,000 to 7,500 kilometers can extend the engine's life and save on repair costs. If you're low on oil while driving, don't rush to add too much; just add a little at a time to maintain a safe driving experience.
