Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or MOTUL

ive always used liqui moly leichtlauf 5w40

when i went from liquimoly to motul i saw a 10° jump in oil temps. went back to liquimoly and temps dropped back down

At around 4000km I did a break in oil change and switched over to liquimoly and noticed my oil regularly stays at 90-95C and only goes to 104 if driven hard.

I want to say it was 7 quarts of synthetic (N54), and if I was buying I used either BMW branded oil or Liqui Moly (at the recommendation of my friendly local BMW centric indy mechanic)

I pay about that. Quality oil and filters cost money. Many shops price oil changes as a loss leader. Euro oil changes are not sold this way, you pay the true price of the service (roughly $80 in supplies, half an hour of labor). I pay ~$160, But you get quality oil in return.

I made myself the services, and used Motul 7100 10w50, I can feel the gearbox it's smoother.

Just buy liquimolly. Best oils I’ve ever put in my cars.

Liqui Moly only, imo…not worth the risk to save a couple bucks.

You could splurge out on Liquimoly if you want la crème de la crème however.

I just put in Motul 8100 instead of whatever the dealer was using. Haven't really noticed a difference except it's occasionally burning a bit, but I can't say for sure that it's just because of the oil.
