ELF Engine oil
imnota_
  • Engine noise:
Rating 5.0

5w40 for sure, my engine sounds happier, quieter, more sound than it did when the PO had 5w30 in it. So 5w40 is a given especially since you have a lot of Km on the clock, when it comes to the brand it really doesn't matter especially if you keep the oil change intervals reasonable.

Pros: engine sounds happier, quieter
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 12500 km
