How to change the oil in a BMW XM Series?

I recently purchased a BMW XM Series and wanted to know the proper way to change the oil. What type of oil should I use and how often should I change it? Also, can I change the oil myself or should I take it to a mechanic?

Changing the oil in your BMW XM Series is actually quite simple. You can use a synthetic oil with a 5W-30 viscosity to ensure optimal performance. It's recommended to change the oil every 7,500 miles or once a year, whichever comes first. As for changing it yourself, it's definitely doable but if you're unsure or uncomfortable, it's always best to take it to a mechanic for a professional job.

I personally change the oil in my BMW XM Series every 5,000 miles. I find that using a high quality synthetic oil and changing it more frequently helps keep my engine running smoothly. And if you're comfortable doing it yourself, it's a great way to save some money.

As a BMW mechanic, I highly recommend bringing your car in for an oil change rather than doing it yourself. BMWs require a specific oil and filter and it's important to have it done correctly to avoid any potential damage to your engine.
