Owner reviews for engine oil

Been using the Motul 7100 4t.. My 390 is flawless till now even after 38k kms.

This weekend, the oil that's in it is coming out (it's clean) and Valvoline Restore and Protect is going in. Rationale is there will undoubtedly be deposits on the pistons, in the piston ring grooves and ring lands.

You’ll double the warranty period buying a gallon of Stihl Motomix, or a six pack of the mix oil in the gray bottles (synthetic).

I use 0w40 Mobil 1 all year round. I live in upstate New York, so our winters can get pretty cold at times, and summers can be in the 90s F for days at a time.

My V70 2.5T is almost at 190k miles. I add about 1 quart of oil between oil changes at 5k intervals and my car has been trouble-free since I purchased it at 107k miles in 2017.

Do not cheap out on oil. I use Mobil 1 high mileage but Castrol is also good.

Valvoline is ok, but that specific oil does not have the rating required for your vehicle. AMSOIL has by far better additives to clean/restore the engine. If you are currently using AMSOIL, then continue using it.

Original BMW 5w30 LL04. I'm sure other brands with the same specifications will be perfectly fine as well though.

Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W-40. It’s LL01 approved

Australia here - they used 10w-30

Feedback from showroom

The 10w-30 is the best oil due to the Australian conditions

Castrol oil MAG

Stay away from the stuff that the dealer puts in, the Euro Car formula(5w-30 i believe) that Castrol makes is a Blend, meaning not fully synthetic and it shears and burns really quick.
