BMW 5 Series uses 5W30 engine oil. Below is additional information: Engine oil for BMW 5 Series: To maintain a balance of cleanliness, stability, oxidation resistance, and viscosity change resistance. The role of engine oil lubricant in BMW 5 Series is to lubricate and clean the engine. For a BMW 5 Series with a 2.0t engine, approximately 5.5 liters of oil is required. The amount of oil needed varies depending on the engine displacement, so add oil according to the actual condition of your vehicle. Engine oil for naturally aspirated engines: Naturally aspirated engines do not require high-performance oil; mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil can be used. If the budget allows, full synthetic oil can be used. Compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines have a more precise structure and operate in more complex conditions, requiring higher-quality oil with better fluidity, preferably full synthetic oil. Choosing engine oil: When selecting an engine oil brand, if you prioritize long-lasting performance, you can choose Mobil lubricants; if you focus on the cleaning performance of the oil, Shell lubricants can be used; if you need oil with strong film toughness, Castrol is recommended. For example, turbocharged engines are prone to carbon deposits during high-speed operation, so Shell oil with strong cleaning capabilities can be used.
