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

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.
