Hi there, Alice. The ideal oil viscosity for a BMW 5 Series engine actually depends on the specific model and year. I would recommend checking the owner's manual or consulting with a certified BMW mechanic to determine the correct viscosity for your specific vehicle. Using the wrong viscosity can affect engine performance and potentially cause long-term damage. It's always best to stick with the manufacturer's recommendations.

Hello, Alice. As a long-time BMW enthusiast and owner, I can tell you from personal experience that using the recommended oil viscosity does make a difference. While it may be tempting to save a few dollars and use a different viscosity, it's not worth the risk. Stick with the manufacturer's recommendation for optimal engine performance.
