Owner reviews for engine oil

I’ve had M52B25 in my E36. Now I have an E46 coupe with M54B22, I only use Motul 8100 x-cess, 5w40

M50 and [Liqui Moly 10w40](https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/10w-40-motor-oil-semi-synthetic-5-liters-liqui-moly-lm2043) from FCP for that sweet sweet free returns on everything

LiquiMoly in my 130k mile M3/4/5. For no real reason other than misplaced brand loyalty.

M50TUB20 (Euro '94 320i) - I've been running Yacco VX600 5W-40 since I got it, I'm close to 6k miles

M44 1.9, Mobil 1 Super 10W40, though I have to admit I use Castrol Edge in everything usually.

I use rotella 15w-40 in every vehicle I own. From my Miata to my XJ, no issues

If you want oil that has zinc, close to the oe oil weight, and is really good I'd go with ams oil, it is expensive but after 3k miles mine is still really clean

I really like Mobil 1 0w40 European car formula, and for the filter, only OEM from the dealer.

Running Liqui-Moly oil with a zinc additive has been keeping my 150k engine sounding good through 5 track days with 3 years of highway beatings in between.

I use Madza OEM filter with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20 every 8,000 km to 10,000 km.

I personally like the Pennzoil over the Idemitsu high moly oil but it's mostly due to being more available in my area.

I do think the Pennzoil is slightly better fuel economy wise and comes out cleaner than the high moly but this is probably a placebo than anything.
