Engine oil Shell or OEM BMW

I’m personally a big fan of shell rotella. That’s what I’ve always ran and haven’t had any issues. My 05 STI is at 163k miles still running strong

Zero need to get under the car, I loathe having to do it with my BMW stuff. With the Mrs' Audis I could literally change the oil in a tuxedo & not get a drop of oil on myself.

I use Shell Rotella T6 5w-40. Available at Walmart lol.

On my M135i F21 LCI, I always let the initial cold-start finish until the idle drops and then start driving while not going above 4.000 for the first ca. 5km and not giving full gas until the engine oil temperature is 72c or more.

Been doing that and till now no issues or leaks, the engine is running sweet.

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.

Super love yung long ride sa XSR700 ko, swabe ng feel sa clutch and shifter.

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.

Shell helix ultra o é o segundo melhor na minha opinião.

I’ve been using T6 for 8 years now and it still lubricates the car. The car burns oil though so it’s always getting fresh stuff.

I did use the Shell T6 Rotella 5W40 for 4 OCI's and then got a misfire issue. When my mechanic was going thru the possible symptoms he asked what oil i used. When i told him it's a full synthetic deisel truck oil he shook his head and said that not a good idea. Too thick, and that could have an impact.
