Engine Oil change on BMW X3

Hi.
I have BMW X3 Xdrive 20d MSport F25 chasis and i think it has B47O engine.

Can some one please guide me how much oil do I need. I think it was between 5-6 litres but not 100% sure.

Also what socket size do I need to remove the oil filter cap. I have tried 19mm and it was too small. next one up I have is 32mm and that's too big.

any help will be much appreciated.

Check youtube for any oil change videos for other BMW models that have the same B47 engine because it will use the same oil filter cap….or any other model that uses the same oil filter cap even if the engine is different. Click link below to see a list of all other BMW models that use the same oil filter cap:


Check your owners manual (if you have one)…look in the rear index for CAPACITIES to see if this info is listed in your manual.

The B47 engine takes 5 liters of oil:
