2005 X5 engine oil question

Dash reads "low engine oil". Can I buy this oil from stores like AutoZone or do I have to go to the dealer? Also, what grade? 5W-30, 5W-40 synthetic, etc?

Fully synthetic, viscosity etc depends on ambient temperatures your x5 lives with, do a search on oil in the forum and you will find millions of posts.....I use 0-40w, dont let the x5 run without oil, top it up soon

Quicksilver will become famous soon enoughQuicksilver will become famous soon enough
From page 152 of the manual

Approved oils are in SAE classes
5W-40 and 5W-30.
These oils may be used for driving in all
ambient temperatures.
