2015 320i x-drive oil

carguy11 · 05-22-2019, 04:03 PM

Hello,
Changed my oil today and used BMW TT 0w-30 full synthetic. The Bentley manual I have says to use 5w-30 but my dealer used 0w-30 last time they did it so I went with 0w-30. I live in the northeast. Any problems using the 0w-30 going forward?
Thanks!

BMW changed to 0W-30 a while back, but not as of 2015. Your dealer probably is trying to reduce inventory by using 0W-30, and it's probably OK. I'm staying with 5W-30 myself.

Depends on engine. I have print out, BMW dealer gave me on oil. 2015 n20 came with 5/30, n26 came with 0/30.
