2016 320ix N20 engine oil capacity?

rks68rt · 03-10-2020, 05:37 AM

I searched but could not find engine oil capacity for my N20. I think mine is the N20B20A motor. I heard it's a 5 liters capacity. Is this correct? Thanks!

0w20 oil, 5.1 quarts according to the Amsoil website.

So you googled "bmw n20 oil capacity" and found nothing? Cuz I did, and dozens of results came up...🤔

Its 5L or 5.3qt

You should be using only 0w30 or 0w40, not 0w20.

5.1 quarts for cars with x-drive, 5.3 for cars without.
