Engine Oil Capacity for 3.0SD
 

Hi,

I am going to do an oil change on my 3.0SD and i am not sure exactly what the engine oil capacity is for this engine and I cant find it in my owners manual.

Can anybody help?

7 quarts. i changed my oil yesterday.

I'm thinking about changing my oil myself as well. How often, mileage interval are you changing the oil? Are the any things I should be aware before make the attempt? E70 3.0si Thanks!:thumbup:

I will keep my E70 forever, so I did my 1200 (actually 1500 miles) break in oil change. Then I will change it at 7500, then I will have the one than by the dealer at 15000 and i will do it myself in the next 7500.

If you are leasing or not planning to keep the E70 then don't even bother and save yourself some cash.

I use BMW oil (cheaper than mobile1) got it from here with free shipping:

Make sure you can soften the oil filter casing and oil filter plug before you drain anything. I was anal and used a torque wrench for both (use 25Nm or 18 ft/lb) to make sure I don't overtighten the drain plug and mess it up.

All together around 50 bucks
