Engine oil OEM BMW or Pentosin

After talking to a European mechanic. He said u need Germany oil for a German car. American oil is trash bc of the EPA regulations. He recommended Pentosin. The tick tock went away and I've been using it every oil change

Original BMW 5w30 LL04. I'm sure other brands with the same specifications will be perfectly fine as well though.

I have been using the Pentosin in mine and have not had any cam issues after putting in a new cam.

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.

I got my 2018 Sprinter and so have used the Pento HPII in that as well.

Pentosin is fine, Mobil 1 is fine, Castrol, whatever. I put Mobil 1 in my racecar but castrol in my daily because it burns oil and I want a heavier weight that I can't find Mobil 1 in. Pentosin or LiquiMoly are good, but don't put too much thought into it.

I use pentosin. Made for vws. Change it every 10k. Good quality filter and you'll be good

BMW used to recommend you changing oil basically every time you blink, back when consumers paid for 100% of all maintenance. But in order to be more competitive, they began offering 3 year included free maintenance on all new vehicles.

Been using the recommended bmw 5w-30 up until recently. However been having to top up 5L every month so the shop switched over to 10w-40 and I haven't seen that I needed to top up yet, but it has only been one and half months so far since the service.

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