Owner reviews for engine oil

I drive my car pretty hard, so 5k is preferred for me.

I change mine every 5K.

Worth the piece of mind to me considering it a turbo engine.

I do mine every 5k. It maybe adds one extra oil change a year for me, if that.

The OEM oil filter worked well to keep insolubles low, and after 8,570 miles on this fill of Castrol High Mileage, the 2.8 TBN shows the oil had active additive to spare.

I’ve a 01 330ci with 284kms on it and I’ve been running Rotella 5w-40 T6 for a few years and it’s been really good. Keeps it good and clean for 10k change intervals. I probably end up adding 2-3L over that time, which was a vast improvement from when I got the car 30k ago.

Liqui Moly 5w 40 - used this in multiple cars with no issues.

I switched from Castrol Edge 0W-40 to Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 on my E46 325Ci and feel it runs a touch better and doesn't burn as much oil. Before I was adding 1L per \~3000km, now maybe 1L per 5-6000km...

Castrol Europeans 0W40 is my typical go-to but Mobil-1 is great, get whichever is cheaper.

Recently started using in my 2002 M3 and the oil runs cooler compared to the "twin power" oem oil i had been using.

That Mobil 1 5w-30 has a tendency to burn off, so it might be a bad combo.
