EacH2004 BMW 325xiModel comes with the same 2.5L V6 engine, so it's simple to determine Your oil capacity and type. No matter which trim level or option package You're driving with, You'll almost always use the same 6.6 quarts of SAE 0W-30 or SAE 5W-30 full synthetic motor oil, though the former is preferred. SCOS adds to the capacity slightly, coming in at 7.9 quarts. In the absence of the above, it's possible to substitute SAE 5W-40 for short periods. This is not recommended if its avoidable though; using thicker oil will introduce friction to the system, which causes premature wear and tear, which will eventually cause the engine to fail early. It's always recommended to use the manufacturer's specified oil with the lowest numbers in its weight, even if it costs a bit more per oil change.
