Engine oil OEM BMW or OEM Subaru

I run 0W20 that is approved by BMW and have 255K KMS. No issues at all.

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

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.

Lots of BMW's as they get in to the upper mileage tend to start consuming oil one way or another.

Yeah? I’ve been using Subaru oem oil in my 260kmile 2015 forester. It only burns a little.

Oil leak. Thats my G20, had to fill like 3 times oil myself during 30 000 km. Went to service and apparently they found two separate oil leaks
