Engine oil OEM BMW or FUCHS

My experience with oil consumption - 5W30 VW - First oil used by me in this car - 2000km - 200 ml added 5W40 Fuchs Titan Race Pro S - Now in the engine - 1000km - Same level as it was at the revision

Fuchs Silkolene. Good stuff.

My 15 S4 has seen 3 oils in <10k miles. The factory fill was Fuchs. Dealer first change was PP Euro and my latest change the other week was with M1. I've run M1 0w40 Euro in my B5 forever and have had 0 issues with it. Saw no reason to not continue running it in the B8.

Dark oil is actually a good thing believe it or not. It means that the oil is doing it's job and holding all the contaminants in suspension. In fact if my oil would look clear at the oil change I'd be very concerned and most probably change the brand.

Looks to be exact same procedure as on my e46. Perhaps the easiest oil change I've ever done. In fact, I've used the same brand and spec oil too, which is an BMW LL-01.

i changed mine @62k miles with similar results. i to change my oil around 5k and was useing m1 0w-40, but just recently started useing fuchs titan oils.

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.
