X3 2.0d - What oil
Hi Guys,
UK based here - Does anyone know which and how much oil i need for my car, i'll be supplying for a service. Searches on supplier sites are telling me either Castrol Magnatec (C3) Engine Oil - 5W-30 (start/stop) or Castrol Edge 5w-30 M FST Fully Synthetic Car Engine Oil Ta |

I entered my reg no. (mine's a 30d) on the Castrol site and it recommended either Magnatec Stop-Start 5W-30 C3 or Magnatec 5W-40 C3.
The BMW oil is now from Shell rather than Castrol. On the Shell site, for my reg it recommended Helix Ultra ECT C3 5W-30 or Helix Ultra Professional AM-L 5W-30. For the 30d you need 6.5 litres and it tells you that on both sites too. |

I dropped my all out last week at 9k miles, the next will be with BMW on my service pack.
All oil must be LL-04 spec, BMW's own is Shell and they use 0w30 on the 2d. With a filter change its 5ltrs, best price I could find was here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-B...gAAOSwjDZYlK00 I also bought a genuine BMW oil filter. |
