What type of oil does a 2018 BMW 2-Series take?

Use a BMW Longlife-approved full-synthetic oil, per your owner’s manual and the oil-filler cap.

BMW specifies oils that meet its Longlife standard; the correct viscosity for your 2018 BMW 2-Series depends on engine and ambient temperature guidance in the manual. Using OEM-approved oil and a genuine BMW filter supports proper lubrication, emissions performance, and warranty compliance. Our parts counter and technicians can confirm the exact approval your car requires.
