This table covers the engine oils listed by grade and specification for this engine.

Match the viscosity and spec in the notes (and on the filler cap). The tables group grades — they are not interchangeable.

This table covers the oil filters that screw onto this engine's filter mount. Typical signs include low oil pressure after a service, or a filter that will not spin off because the old gasket stayed on the block. Lube the new gasket and tighten to the spec on the box; a double-gasket install dumps the sump on the first drive.

Buying Engine Parts for a 2026 BMW 540I

On this vehicle, the engine covers the internals and hard parts that build compression and keep oil where it belongs — gaskets, bearings, camshafts, lifters, seals and timing components.

  • Confirm you have the 3.0L L6 Turbocharged engine — every part on this page is matched to it.
  • Read the notes on each row for position, trim and spec qualifiers before you order.
  • Where labor overlaps, replace the seals and gaskets for anything you open up; a timing job should always include the tensioner and guides, not just the belt or chain.
  • Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against your old part or a service-manual listing.

What do the market flags (US, CA, MX) on each part mean?
