BMW 3 Series 2016 engine oil

BMW 3 Series 2016 takes 0W-20 / 0W-30. Approvals, oil capacity and the products Sonar International stocks in Benghazi.

Engine: 320i / 328i (N20)

Recommended grade

  • 0W-20

    A heavier oil is commonly recommended here, but it is not what your manufacturer specifies for this engine and it can slow the variable valve timing system. Stay with the recommended grade and change it more often in summer.

Engine: 328i (N26)

Recommended grade

  • 0W-30

    For this engine the manufacturer’s approval matters more than the viscosity. Two 5W-40 oils are not the same oil if only one carries the approval — check the specification, not just the number on the bottle.
