AMSOIL diesel oil guide for trucks, vans, SUVs and diesel engines<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What oil does a 2014 BMW 328d take?<\/h2>\n

The 2014 BMW 328d with the 2.0L 4-cylinder N47D20 C Diesel Turbo engine requires a 0W-30<\/strong> viscosity motor oil. For a standard oil change, the engine oil capacity is 5.5 quarts<\/strong> (including the filter). AMSOIL recommends using AMSOIL 5W-30 LS 100% Synthetic European Motor Oil<\/a> or AMSOIL 5W-40 MS 100% Synthetic European Motor Oil<\/a>.<\/p>\n
