My Ride: 520d m sport black, leather beige interior
Which one should I get ?
5L CASTROL Edge 5W-30 Fully Synthetic Engine oil
5L CASTROL Edge 0W-30 Fully Synthetic Engine oil
Is 5 Litres enough for a 520d?
Thanks!

The 5W-30 should be ideal for your location.

My Ride: Alpine White 2006 530Xi (SLD)
Last time I changed oil, I switched to the BMW-branded oil they sell at the dealer. It seems to work better on my engine than anything else I've used before (both Castrol and Mobil1 - the ones recommended in the manual). So I highly recommend you use the BMW Oil - just go to your dealership's parts counter and get yourself set up

My Ride: E60 2005 530d MSport. Media Package. Cream leather heated seats. Falkens.
When I went to the dealer, it was only available in 1 litre units, so therefore pretty expensive.
