Engine oil Castrol or MOTUL
Castrol 5W-40 Euro been using it since 20k miles now at 160k mile zero issues other then gasket leaks.
I use Castrol Edge High Millage and a STP XL filter or Mobil 1.
Castrol Edge Extended Performance, 5w30
Motul 5w-30 [or 5w-40 when ambient temp is above 80] 8100 X-clean EFE, based on IAG's recommendation for the FA20
Mine uses Castrol I believe.
I live in the same area with the same motor and run Motul 300V competition 5w40 on my high mileage track car at the recommendation of my mechanic
I use the 5W-40 in my e46.
Castrol semi synthetic Actevo for my F800st.
I've always been a Castrol man for my BMW car.
And one thing I would definitely do is get the Castrol out of there if you intend to keep the car long-term. The recent changes to the oil we are delivered at the dealer is crazy!!! It's not the same as it used to be and I can tell a huge difference in my cars. Have had excess oil consumption, lower MPG and quicker deterioration of the oil over last 6 months using Castrol(and I work at dealer)
