Why is the oil in my BMW X5 turning black so quickly?

I've noticed that the oil in my BMW X5 turns black within a few hundred miles of being changed. Is this normal? What could be causing this and how can I prevent it?

It is likely that your BMW X5 is burning oil, which can cause it to turn black quickly. This is a problem that should be addressed by a mechanic as it could indicate a more serious issue.

Another reason for black oil could be contamination from dirty engine components. Have a professional clean your engine and perform regular maintenance to prevent this issue.

Using a high-quality synthetic oil can help reduce the darkening of your oil. Make sure to follow the recommended oil change schedule for your BMW X5 to maintain optimal engine performance.
