How much oil does a BMW E60 take?

The amount of engine oil your BMW E60 needs depends on the engine type, year and model you’re during. Anywhere from 3-7 litres is the average amount needed, however your owner’s manual should have the relevant amount for your specific car. If you’re still unsure, call mycar for advice.

Which oil for BMW E60?

A high performance car like your BMW E60 needs high performance synthetic engine oil. When choosing engine oil, the most common for all BMW motor types is 5W-30, but 0W-20 or 0W-30 are also regularly used for some BMW 5 Series cars. Consult your owners manual or ask your mycar technician for more information specific to your E60.

It’s generally recommended that you change your engine oil every 6-12 months or every 15,000km. If your oil starts to look dark or gritty before then, then you may need to change it more regularly.
