Got a 525d and want to change the oil. Now, I can get 4 litres or 8 litres but dont know how much I will ACTUALLY need to change all the oil in the car.
Does anyone know ? I read somewhere that if changing the oil filter as well, 6.75 litres.

Did a search already but couldnt find the info I was after.

Thanks!

You need 8.25 litres....this is the total sump volume of oil according to the BMW manual.

Are you sure ? Never read of that much oil anywhere!
Can anyone verify this please ? Max quantity they sell is 8litres and then +1 litres but the seperate litres arent cheap

thanks

8.25 sounds about right. check your manual.

yup 8.25 ltrs is correct, mine needs that much and i believe the 525d is the same engine as the 530d

Thansk for confirming.
Damn I've only got 8litres !!

My mate just changed the oil on his 525d and it actually took 8.5 litres and he was super careful to get the level exactly right e.g. level ground, run the engine wait ages for it to run back to the sump, check and top up....

The spec said 8.25l

feck feck ... need another litre.

The way i always do it is to add the new oil check the stick then leave it a couple of days and add again if required. I never add the total amount in the one day, 8.5 sounds slightly high.

8.3 is what i read on the halfords site for the 525d.
