What is the 2006 BMW 330i oil type?

I want to change the oil in my 2006 BMW 330i, but I lost the owner’s manual years ago. What type of oil do I need for my 330i?

The owner’s manual is full of helpful information and tidbits, so even if you lost it, it’s not the end of the world. The 2006
BMW 330i
oil type is SAE 5W-40 and the engine has a capacity of 5 quarts of motor oil.
Full synthetic is the preferred blend, but getting a motor oil specifically for European cars is a smart move to improve lubrication and performance. Major oil companies such as Mobil 1, Castrol, STP, and Valvoline all produce this type of oil, so you shouldn’t have any problems finding it at your local auto parts store.
