Engine oil AMSOIL or OEM BMW

I switched oil to AMSOIL signature series synthetic, from everything I read, it out performs other oils, used to use Mobil 1

My 2016 GT350R has almost 25K miles and has never needed oil between changes. I use Amsoil every 5000 miles, sooner depending on track abuse.

hey u/op ... if its not too late..\n\ndont drain the oil the normal way! the paint would be carried through the oil passages and possibly hardening in them.\n\nsince they poured/sprayed the paint through the opening, its all in that area.

3.0 n52 when I got the car it had 5w-30 and the oil was leaking slightly. Changed 5w-40 and the leak stopped all together. Engine is smooth as butter

Amsoil 100%, I tested it quite a few, and I’m noticed the least amount of decoration and power loss with it

5W-40 is my preferred viscosity for the N52. If you are only topping off, virtually any API SL or newer oil will work just fine. If you are doing a full change though you should source a 5W-40 that meets BMW’s LL-01 specification.

As long as it’s a LL-01, you can put that in. I’m currently running that on my N52.

5w30 Amsoil, ignore the tick it's normal.

In my case, the oil consumption was also high—I had to refill it constantly, though BMW claims that’s 'totally normal.'

10k miles later, went to do my usual 1k mile quart of oil, looks like chocolate milk.
