Engine oil Kendall or OEM BMW

I have a BMW e36 and it is standard practice to run an extra quart of oil at the track to prevent oil starvation and lifter tick. I have been doing it for years with dozens of track days along with many other people I know with no issues.

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

I go to a local Toyota/Lexus specialist here in San Diego. They use Kendall liquid titanium and it cost me about $75.

I recommend checking your oil level at 3000 miles because some vehicles burn oil. BMW and Audi especially, at 1500~2000miles I will top off.

I bought a new air filter for carb. I reinstalled the front engine pan. I did an oil change. VW specialist recommended I go to Kendall 20w50 to fix the oil light at idle.

I use full synthetic kendall and it runs beautifully.

BMW used to recommend you changing oil basically every time you blink, back when consumers paid for 100% of all maintenance. But in order to be more competitive, they began offering 3 year included free maintenance on all new vehicles.

Kendall GT1 10W30 - Volvo filter 1275810

Done every 5k miles by my local Volvo specialist because that's their default and I like it to be checked out frequently. It's the oil they use. 179k miles

Ran Kendall 15x40 for a number of years, ran Shell T4 till it got oddly hard to find, currently running Delo 15w40

Oil consumption is a common problem. My original E92 consumed a quart of oil every 1K miles. My current car does not.
