How much oil should be added to a BMW 320li?

BMW 320li requires different amounts of engine oil depending on the cylinder type, which can be divided into two categories: 1. The turbocharged four-cylinder engine requires 5 liters of oil per refill. 2. The naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine requires 4.25 liters of oil per refill. Oil cylinder maintenance: Since exhaust gases from the engine mix into the oil, the oil can become acidic. Over time, engine deposits accumulate in the oil, forming numerous impurities that cause the oil to degrade. Failing to regularly clean the oil cylinder and change the oil can accelerate engine wear, leading to unstable idling, increased fuel consumption, and a shortened engine lifespan.
The fuel tank capacity of the BMW 320Li is approximately 56 liters. I've been driving this car for nearly three years and usually fill it up to about 80% when refueling. I avoid filling it completely because I've heard it's better for the fuel tank and prevents spillage that could dirty the car. It's essential to use at least 95-octane gasoline; otherwise, the engine may shake, affecting performance. In city driving, my fuel consumption is around 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers, but on the highway, it can drop to about 6 liters, which is quite fuel-efficient. Before driving, I always check the fuel gauge to avoid running out of gas and getting stranded, especially before long trips—ensuring the fuel tank is adequately filled is crucial for safe driving.
