We just purchased a 2017 X5 with the N55 motor. The car has 29,000 miles on it. Next oil change is due in 8000 miles according to the maintenance indicator, so it was recently changed. The car has been dealer maintained, so guessing it's currently using 0W-30 (unless I'm missing something). Anyways, I'm looking for an oil recommendation. I'm not new to BMW ownership. This is the fourth one I've had, but the first one with a turbo. I previously used Castrol Edge 0W-40 European with Mann filters in my E39 and E46 (both with the M54) and in my E60 (N52 motor). I'm inclined to stick with that unless there's a better choice these days. Just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing going into a Phoenix summer with a hotter running motor. Any info is welcome!
