The 2014 BMW X5 takeS6.5 liters (6.9 quarts) of 5W-30 engine oil. This is a very popular viscosity because it's thick enough to perform well in hot temperatures, but thin enough to flow adequately in cold temperatures. SAE 5W-30 is a synthetic fluid that lubricates the engine and helps to keep it cool while preventing corrosion and enhancing performance. If oil is permitted to get old or low, expensive engine damage can be resulted. BMW suggests changing the fluid in this vehicle every 7,500 miles. However, many BMW dealerships state that You should only need one every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Your service interval will be based on Your personal driving habits. The average cost to have the oil changed in a 2014 X5 is $90 to $120. Labor accounts for $40 to $60 of that total.
