I'm performing my first oil change on my 2005 BMW X5 3.0. It's been about 8K miles since the last oil change, which was done right before I bought it. The car has 50K miles on it. Wondering what type/brand of oil is recommended.
Bentleys suggests 3 types depending on ambient temps:
5W-30 (-20 to 50 degrees F)
5W-40 (-20 to 80+ degrees F)
15W-40 (10-80+ degrees F)
I'm in Omaha and it gets REALLY cold in the winter, so I'm thinking 5W-30 would probably be best. Looking for suggestions on type as well as brand.
Thanks in advance!
