Engine oil Mobil or OEM BMW

Mobil Engine oil

I use Mobil 1 extended performance oil just to get that extra protection for a mere $3 premium compared to regular Mobil 1.

Pros: extra protection

OEM BMW Engine oil

5W-40 is my preferred viscosity for the N52. If you are only topping off, virtually any API SL or newer oil will work just fine. If you are doing a full change though you should source a 5W-40 that meets BMW’s LL-01 specification.

Pros: preferred viscosity
Vehicle: BMW

10w60 is the only oil you should put in these. If nothing else, you can usually find it at BMW automobile dealerships as that is what they put in the M3/4 series (or at least used to). Not cheap, but a lot less expensive than engine rebuilds.

Pros: less expensive than rebuilds
Cons: not cheap
Vehicle: BMW

Mobil Engine oil

Mobil 1 0W-20 wix filter 7500mile intervals. Due for 30k change right now. Honestly the oil I\u2019ve drained out so far still looks really good but I buy my Mobil at Costco so still relatively cheap to change.

Pros: oil looks really good
Cons: relatively cheap
Mileage: 30000 km

Walmart sells Mobil 1 for so cheap that it doesn’t seem necessary to buy Walmart oil but the quality is fine.

Pros: quality is fine
