Oil service

Personally I’d stick to Castrol oil and a Mahle filter.
5.5 to 6 litres max for an oil change.

The S54 engine requires 5.5 litres exactly and it shouldn't be overfilled. So buy 5 + 1 litre containers.

Regarding the filter, BMW will supply you with a Mahle OX 187D filter which is readily available at many other places for about a tenner max so you can just as easily get one elsewhere a save a bit. The only difference is it won’t have a BMW logo printed on it. Sure Bosch etc. are fine but may as well go for the OE filter when cost is negligible.

Many thanks Andy, i'll get the Mahle filter then (without the BMW logo)
