Engine oil PENNZOIL or OEM BMW

I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30. It’s hasn’t failed me yet and I’ve done multiple track days

Pennzoil ultra platinum 5w-30 in my 2016. Will use it in wife's 2025 when warranty is done.

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.

Honestly, any brand should be okay as long as you change your oil every 5k miles. Personally I run Penz ultra plat. I never burn oil with it and my engine sounds quieter than it did w/ Mobil 1.

Put about 300K on two different M54's so far. Originally Mobil1/Castrol 0W30 (that was the original BMW recommendation in early 2000s), eventually switched to Pennzoil Euro 5W40 for oil leak reduction.

I switched to Pennzoil Ultra Platinum full synthetic made from natural gas. Oil consumption is 1/2qt in 5K.

I flip between Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and Motul depending on if I choose to order ahead of time or just do it when I feel like.

Pennzoil Platinum Ultra is also commonly used/recommended instead of the Motul and is cheaper.

I always use Penzoil Ultra Platinum and have never had an issue.

I would run Castrol over Pennzoil. Coming from personal experience, Pennzoil is junk.
