The recommended engine oil capacity for the BMW 3 Series is 6.5 quarts. It is important to check your vehicle's owner manual to confirm the specific oil capacity for your model and year. As for the type of oil, BMW recommends using synthetic oil with a viscosity of 5W30 or 5W40. In terms of how often you should change the oil, it is recommended to do so every 10,000 miles or once a year, whichever comes first. However, if you often drive in severe conditions, such as extreme temperatures or stop-and-go traffic, it is best to change the oil more frequently.
