The 2006 BMW X3 has a 3.0 L 6-cylinder engine that needS6.6 quarts of oil with a filter. The recommended F-TYPEor the best performance in the vehicle is SAE 5W-40 FS Synthetic European Motor Oil. 5W-40 means that 5 is the thickness or the viscosity of the oil at startup, w is for winter and 40 is the thickness or the viscosity at operating speeds. Oil is extremely important because it will help to keep the engine clean and parts lubricated to help with friction when they rub together. You should change the oil and the filter every 5,000 miles because the oil will go bad after a while. The cost of an oil change is between $50 and $70 in labor costs.
