What oil does a 2014 BMW 535d take?<\/h2>\n

The 2014 BMW 535d with the 3.0L 6-cylinder N57D30T N Diesel Turbo engine requires an oil capacity of 6.9 quarts<\/strong> (including filter change). The recommended viscosity is 0W-30<\/strong> for all temperatures. AMSOIL recommends using 5W-30 LS 100% Synthetic European Motor Oil<\/strong> or 5W-40 MS 100% Synthetic European Motor Oil<\/strong>, as these are recommended for the LL-04 specification found in your owner’s manual.<\/p>\n
