I was running Castrol 0w30 European formula in my 07 323i and the car ticked a lot and made noises I’ve never heard it make previously when running 5w30. So recently I swapped to castrol 5w40 European formula and the car is whisper quite even on cold starts. It just sounds so much healthier.

Pros: car is whisper quite

Cons: car ticked a lot

Vehicle: BMW

Mileage: 300000 km

Personally I buy exactly the factory oil, from a manafacturer that factory put in, in German cars it's Castrol, French are Total and Elf, Italians use Petronas Selenia.

Pros: factory oil, correct weight

I'm using Castrol GTX 20W50 because it's the only 20W50 that I can easily find locally. I tried Rotella 15W40 but I found that it gave somewhat low oil pressure on my old engine.

Pros: easy to find locally

Cons: low oil pressure
