What is the 2020 BMW X1’s oil type?
I bought a used 2020 BMW X1 a few months ago. It’s finally due for an oil change, but I was shocked to learn how much it costs because the X1 is a foreign vehicle—I’m just going to do it myself to save money. What type of oil do I need for a 2020 BMW X1?

Foreign cars are almost always more costly to maintain outside of Toyota or Honda. That said, the
BMW X1
needs SAE 5W-30 motor oil if you’re going to do an oil change on your own.By filling it with the BMW-preferred type of motor oil, you ensure the car’s maximum performance, as well as premium fuel economy. Just make sure to dispose of the old motor oil at either a recycling center or an auto repair shop to avoid groundwater contamination.
Foreign luxury cars can be notoriously expensive to insure. So before you put down a huge payment for your insurance, compare quotes with the
