Engine oil MOTUL or OEM BMW

I maintained 0w-30 factory spec on my F85 and did 2 oil analysis and Data was great. I just changed to 5w-50 leichluf.

160k miles on mine. Most reliable car I’ve owned. Just do your regular maintenance like plugs, coils, filter, oil, other fluids and they’re rock solid!

hey u/op ... if its not too late..\n\ndont drain the oil the normal way! the paint would be carried through the oil passages and possibly hardening in them.\n\nsince they poured/sprayed the paint through the opening, its all in that area.

3.0 n52 when I got the car it had 5w-30 and the oil was leaking slightly. Changed 5w-40 and the leak stopped all together. Engine is smooth as butter

I have a Svartpilen 401 2024 model. I did a 500 km ride recently, I didn't notice any drop in the oil level. In India, the engine oil used for these bikes is Motul 7100 10w50 Fully Synthetic.

Mines a secret inbox me and I'll tell you ..lol

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.

As long as it’s a LL-01, you can put that in. I’m currently running that on my N52.

In my case, the oil consumption was also high—I had to refill it constantly, though BMW claims that’s 'totally normal.'

10k miles later, went to do my usual 1k mile quart of oil, looks like chocolate milk.
