hi,
Just bought an 2003 X5 3.0 petrol with 73k miles. The indicators are showing that i need a service. I am planning to do the service my self and bought the filters etc. In regards to the oil should i use castrol edge 5w 30 or should i go for magnatec fully synthetic as the engine has highish mileage??
Any advice would be appreciated as im planning to keep the car for a few years and want to maintain it.
P.S how ofte do you change the spark plugs on 3,0 petrol??
regards
sai
