Recommended x5 engine oil?

[abenar23]

Hello,
I'm a new owner of a 2001 BMW X5 4.4, I'd like to know what is the best engine oil to use on this model??
Many thanks.....

Join BMWCCA and just get the BMW synthetic 5-30 oil. Not the E46 M3 10-60.

Has anyone used Amsoil's 5/30 synthetic? Since BMW recommends an oil change about every 15k miles I thought the 25k mile Amsoil might be a good option.

Any thoughts?

I use amsoil products. 5w-30 in the x5 4.4

they now have a euro formula I think it's 5w-40.

the BMW(castrol) synthetic is a group III oil. For a 12-15k drain interval I'd feel better with a group 4. I'd still change the filter at 7500 miles though.
