Engine oil VALVOLINE or OEM BMW

For this reason I run Valvoline 20W-50 VR1 which has high zinc and phosphorus to deal with the extra loads the flat-tappets put on the camshaft vs roller tappets.

I’ve used a few but the best for me is mopar oil filter and Valvoline full synthetic.

I’ve been using Valvoline full synthetic with a KN filter. Never had an issue

Valvoline full synthetic with max life tech is my current favorite but I think I might be able to unseat him soon.

I personally use 5w50 valvoline fully synthetic racing oil for my r56 and change every 5000 km which is like around 3k miles and it's running good

For the money the best zinc content is valvoline vr1 CONVENTIONAL (not synthetic). It comes in a few flavors.

I use Valvoline 0W-20 full synthetic and an OEM filter.

I used to run the 10w-40 Valvoline high mileage synthetic blend from Walmart.

I use conventional 20W-50 VR1 for oil, love it.

As a Shop owner that Services a ton of Euro Cars we pretty much use all the Valvoline Euro Spec'ed Oil. They meet all the OEM requirements as we've also sent it in for testing. I have a 2014 CC APR Stage 3+ and thats what I run, Valvoline 5W40 Euro. No Issues.
