1 Answers
The BMW 2 Series requires the use of 5W30 engine oil. The selection of engine oil should be based on the maintenance manual. Below are the specific details: 1. Engine oil models suitable for the BMW 2 Series: The BMW 2 Series can use BMW original engine oils such as 0W30, 5W30, 0E40, 0W30, 10W60, and other models. 2. The specific meaning of 5W30 engine oil: The number 5 in 5W30 engine oil represents the viscosity of the oil. A smaller number indicates lower viscosity and better fluidity. The 'W' stands for 'winter,' indicating that the oil is suitable for use in low winter temperatures. The number 30 represents the oil's high-temperature resistance, with a larger number indicating better high-temperature resistance. 3. When adding engine oil, it is best to use the original engine oil specified by the car manufacturer: Engine oils of different brands, types, and grades should not be mixed, as this can affect the normal operation of the engine, cause severe engine wear, and reduce the engine's lifespan.
