Engine oil ZIC or OEM BMW

ZIC - Dito ako nag stay, ang tahimik sa makina, both matic and manual. Malamig din sa makina.

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.

Personal experience ko from 15W40 Delo Gold to Zic 10W40 to 5W30 Full Synthetic sa 1.6L Diesel Accent mas naging responsive & rev happy yung makina sa 5W30 Full Synthetic kahit sa 10W40 kasi na Full Synthetic hindi siya happy parang pigil yung makina & less responsive siya.

Been using Zic on two Hyundais (Tucson, Santa Fe), and ok yung performance niya. Maintained yung cars with fully synthetic, 10k/1 year intervals. Smooth pa rin manakbo ang engine until today.

Been using that oil on my Gen 3 Montero since 2020, and ok naman, no complaints.

Better to use ZIC X7 fs oil. Korean oil.

Been using it for several years and it’s amazing for its price.

I currently use Zic 5W-20 oil in my mirage

it has around 190kms

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.

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

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