What is the BMW X3’s oil type?

I tried to get an appointment with my mechanic for a regular maintenance check and oil change, but I’m not able to get in for a few weeks. What kind of oil do I need to buy for a 2020 BMW X3 if I want to change it myself?

Hopefully, you can get your car in for a check-up soon! For an oil change on your
BMW X3
, you’ll want to find 5W-30 BMW X3 motor oil or any other pure synthetic 5W-30 viscosity oil.
On top of changing the oil on your X3, consider checking some other maintenance items, including:
** Every 5,000-10,000 miles**:
  • Refill all fluid levels
  • Inspect brakes
  • Rotate and inspect tires
  • Change oil and filters
Every 10,000-15,000 miles:
  • Replace the windshield wipers
  • Inspect and replace engine coolants
  • Replace key fob battery
Every 30,000 miles:
  • Check fuel lines and battery connections
  • Replace cabin and engine air filters
  • Check and refill brake fluid
