BMW X1 Engine Oil Malaysia
BMW X1 engine oil spec, capacity and change interval for Malaysia heat.

Oil Spec — F48 X1
- F48 sDrive18i / B38: BMW LL-17 0W-20, 4.5L
- F48 xDrive20i / B48: BMW LL-17 0W-20, 5.0L
- Malaysia interval: every 10,000 km — not CBS-suggested 15,000+ km
X1 Oil — Right for Our Heat
The X1's B38 and B48 engines use BMW LL-17 0W-20 — the same spec as the 1 Series. We change at 10,000 km (not the CBS suggestion which can extend to 20,000 km) because Malaysia's heat and traffic stress the oil more than temperate-climate driving. An oil change at 4M Car Care for the B38 X1 is ; for the B48 X1 .
