What a great car—we’re super jealous! The type of oil you need for your BMW X5 will depend on the model year of your car. For a 2018 BMW X5, use 0W-30.
There are two ways to figure out the exact oil you need for your model year:
  • Look up your model year on BMW’s website
  • Check the oil cap in your engine, as manufacturers often label the oil cap with the type of oil needed
Good job keeping your engine healthy with an oil change—and enjoy the new ride!
