Engine oil MOTUL or OEM BMW

I try and stick with Motul 10W60. But I don’t think the engines are particularly picky about brand

Have it in my N55 and it's very happy.

I recommend this. used it for my m550

holds up very well. the car likes it. the thinner OE spec oil kind of evaporated a bit after 4-5k miles but this one hasnt.

I have a block heater, and use high quality synthetic oil (Motul 8100 5W-30) .

A lot of people are essentially saying "don't beat on it until that gauge reads warm," which is incorrect. BMW, in the G series, switched to showing *coolant* temperature on the speedo and not oil temperature. That is NOT the oil temperature gauge, and oil takes a lot longer to heat up than coolant. When that gauge shows operating temperature, give the car another 10 minutes or so to get the *oil* up to temp.

Just drive it. With these 0w20 oil is circulated immediately. My G20 330e does a cold start when accelerating the highway. The RPM limit is protecting your engine so even with a kickdown it won't go above 4k RPM and will shift very early.

i drive a g21 330D xdrive, I've been researching warm up procedures and people recommend letting the oil circulate for 30+ seconds then cruising in eco pro as the torque band is toned down and it changes gears as early as possible.

Depend on the oil grade that is in the engine.

In proper units that’s -15°C which is very close to the limit of a 10W- oil. I would let such car warm for 5 minutes easily.

If your car is running a 5w or 0w it will be fine to start driving in less than a minute. Which is just the time you need to remove the snow and ice from the windows, how convenient :P

currently I am running the Motul 8100 Econergy, it is good, it wasn't my first choice, but I found it at 40% discount in a physical store and my wallet wouldn't look twice, but it's a little too thin for my liking, and I'm looking to change with my next oil change

Don\u2019t buy the xcess version. Causes weird engine deposits. Stick with xclean.
