The 2002 BMW X5 oil type and capacity iS5w30 and 7.9 quarts. You will run into problems with the oil at some point. One common problem is a nasty burning smell. This needs to be looked into as soon as possible or the car might explode. Bad oil can cause the engine to fail. Knocking noise may arise from the engine. You could experience poor gas mileage as well. Having high quality oil is key for the engine to run smoothly. Your oil needs to be changed eventually. Every 5,000 to 10,000 miles is a good rule of thumb. If You don't change it, there will be problems with the engine.
