For your BMW X5, it is recommended to use synthetic oil with an API certification of SN or higher. This will provide the best protection for your engine.

I have been using Castrol EDGE Synthetic oil in my BMW X5 for years and have had no issues. It meets the specifications needed for BMW vehicles.

Make sure to check your owner's manual for specific recommendations for your BMW X5 model year. It's always best to follow the manufacturer's guidelines.
