2017 x3 28i oil question

slowblackx3f25 · 09-07-2019, 12:14 AM

I drive a 2017 x3 28i and the recommend oil is 0W20 but I used 5W30 instead (LiquiMoly), now my question is will this cause any issues?
Should I stick to 5W30 or go back to 0W20?

My x3 will be driven in very hot temperatures and very cold temperatures, and is mostly highway driven.

Let me know. Thanks!

What does the owners manual have to say? Usually there are a couple of recommended oil viscosity ranges that are for varying climate/temperature conditions.
