How do I change the engine oil in my BMW XM?

I just bought a used BMW XM and the oil looks pretty dirty. How often should I change the oil, and what type of oil should I use? I don't want to damage my engine.

Hi Jake, congratulations on the new car! I would recommend changing the oil every 5,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. As for the type of oil, make sure to use synthetic oil with a viscosity rating of 5W-30. This will provide the best protection for your engine.

Hey Jake, it's important to regularly change the oil in your BMW XM to prevent engine damage. I suggest using synthetic oil with a high performance rating, such as Mobil 1 or Castrol edge. As for the frequency, I would recommend following the maintenance schedule outlined in your owner's manual.
