Engine oil Mobil or OEM BMW

Based on extensive testing, BMW has approved only certain engine oils. Use only approved "BMW High Performance Synthetic Oil." If you are unable to obtain "BMW High Performance Synthetic Oil," you can add small amounts of synthetic oil in between oil changes.

The car itself is outstanding for the price, excellent quality build in my opinion. However the FSI engine has given a few of us some headaches. Mine performs great, except for burning excessive oil.

I've moved up to Mobil 1 5W-50 from Syntec 5W-40. So far I really like it. No noise on startup at all with it. I also use the monster oil filter.

I run Mobil-1 0-40 in the winter to 4 or 5k miles, in the hard driving months I use their 5-40, and change it once or twice a month.

I use Mobil 1 0W40, and have been going 4000 miles between oil changes.

just use Mobil1 0w40 or Castrol 5w40...both can be found at autozone and are 502 approved

Now i can notice a smoother iddle and the car seems to pull more even in the RPM. So far so good i'll trust MObil 1 till my next oil change but always be aware of what those dealership are doing seems like a big ripp off to me !!!

Easiest to find is Mobil 1 0W-40, Porsche's recommended fill.

I use mobil 1 0w40 and it makes a big difference

0w - 40 Mobile 1 was all I used for over 3 years, and the R was flawless until I sold her.
