Rating 5.0

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
Vehicle: BMW

Total Engine oil

I can personally recommend *Total Quartz Ineo FDE 0W30.* This oil has even better specifications than *Petronas.*

Pros: better specifications
Vehicle: Alfa Romeo Giulia

OEM BMW Engine oil

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.

Pros: less top up needed
Cons: high oil consumption
Vehicle: BMW

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
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 1600 km
