That's what I'm going to do... They couldn't tell me what kind of oil it uses. When I pick up my car, he told me, there is a sticker under the hood. They don't have any of the oil in stock, but do have the Ad Blue fluid. He did say it takes a different oil than the regular X5.

diesel oils carry a CH or CHI rating. my Ford uses CHI-4. Rotella is what i use. the CH / CHI rating is to cut down on soot.

grover432: Did you try out the ceramic heater? I am waiting for the temperatures to drop here in Switzerland. -5C is not a very big challenge for any car (we had -30C during Christmas in Sweden but drove an X5 E53 3.0D with Webasto heater - worked perfect, a lot faster cabin heating than my previous petrol cars).

The heater works very well in the diesel... You get instant heat.
