Engine oil OEM BMW or OEM FORD

OEM BMW Engine oil

I do a 5K oil change interval. I let it warm up for 5+ minutes every morning. Not necessarily because I'm intending to warm it up to operating temp but because that's just how my morning routine goes. I drive moderately and keep the RPM's below 3K and try to keep below 50% load on the engine, aka drive moderately.

OEM BMW Engine oil

Oem Bmw 5w30 longlife 04. I used this for 8 years in my high mileage n47 and sold that thing mint. Go with oem and don't waste a second more thinking about it. Enjoy the car. Just do the changes on time or early and it will be good.

Pros: car ran like a champ
Vehicle: BMW

I have a BMW e36 and it is standard practice to run an extra quart of oil at the track to prevent oil starvation and lifter tick. I have been doing it for years with dozens of track days along with many other people I know with no issues.

Pros: prevent oil starvation

OEM FORD Engine oil

My wife's truck recommends 5w-20. Burns it like a mfer though. I run 10w-40 in it and have for several years. Still going strong. 01 f150. Do with that what you will.

Pros: still going strong
Cons: burns oil
Vehicle: Ford

I recommend checking your oil level at 3000 miles because some vehicles burn oil. BMW and Audi especially, at 1500~2000miles I will top off.

Pros: check oil level
Cons: vehicles burn oil

I have a 98 TDI with 269k and I had an 06 TDI with 131k. I have dumped the unfiltered engine oil after each change into the tanks of both cars since I've had them (Beetle, 98, got at 230,880 miles). They burn fine.

Pros: burn fine
Mileage: 269000 km

Oil consumption is a common problem. My original E92 consumed a quart of oil every 1K miles. My current car does not.

Cons: high oil consumption
