Owner reviews for engine oil

I replaced the cam adjuster magnet and haven't had a problem since and I changed the oil( I used liqui-moly this time).

For oil changes, use BMW, Mahle, or Mann filters and any LL-01 approved oil. Mobil1 0w40 is what I've been using and never had any problem.

Last change I did I switched to liquimoli 5-40 and I used a can of Cera tec. Noticed a bit of quieting from the engine after a few miles of circulation and after nearly 5k miles I'm only down mayyybe 1/4 QT. So far so good at 131,000

Generally, brand matters a lot. Amsoil, Mobil 1, and Castrol are all great.

I run Castrol in my older cars and Mobil 1 in newer cars that I care more about.

I usually change the oil every 7500 miles and tend to use Castrol synthetic 0-40.

As mentioned above, you should consider Mobil 0w40 oil. I've used it for 4 winters now, driving in very similar conditions to what you're seeing, and the oil basically looks new every time I change it at 7000 miles.

I've had pretty great results from Eneos Sustina in my 2017 3.

I'd recommend changing the oil to a good brand 0W-40, Mobil or Shell. Replace the oil filter as well.

My next step is to switch the oil to Motul 8100 X-Cess (this is what I used in the past before moving to Ottawa).

Motul 7100, I use the same kind. Love the smell of motul oils.
