Engine oil Castrol or OEM BMW

I would recommend the Castro Edge PROFESSIONAL 0w-20. Been using it in my wife’s LR4 since we got it and it was the consensus on best oil when I first did my research. It’s a little pricey but we’ve had zero engine issues with this.

Original BMW 5w30 LL04. I'm sure other brands with the same specifications will be perfectly fine as well though.

we run castrol edge in our ‘04 FXT.

My rotary expert in north Texas recommended that I use 10-30 conventional oil. I personally prefer Castrol GTX

I use Castrol Synthetic 10w-30 on mine.

It’s thicker oil, so I feel like it gives the engine better protection. With 272k miles on it, I figured why not.

I’ve been running Castrol GTX 10w30 conventional in my 9000 Aero. Brought it to a Saab specialist and he recommended it. Need to have the valve seals redone and the oil is thick enough that it doesn’t get past the seals and no smoke. No issues running it. I change it every 3 months regardless of how far I’ve driven.

Good results with Castrol Edge Euro full synthetic. No issues. 138,000 miles, no oil consumption or smoke.

Castrol is great option if it is not fake, also make sure to change oil every 10000km (6200 miles). Those engines are bulletproof, should cause no issues

I tried using valvoline, that burned noticeably faster. But castrol high mileage has been pretty good.

Yes, Castrol is crapola, so is Kendall. Valvoline is the best.
