I’ve been running Castrol GTX 10w30 conventional in my 9000 Aero. Brought it to a Saab specialist and he recommended it. Need to have the valve seals redone and the oil is thick enough that it doesn’t get past the seals and no smoke. No issues running it. I change it every 3 months regardless of how far I’ve driven.
Shell Rotella T6. It's marketed as heavy diesel oil, but it meets the exact same specs as mobil 1 full synthetic and just has some extra detergent like diesel oils do.
This oil in OG 9-3 that have the crankcase retrofit kits clean the entire engine very well after a few oil changes getting rid of and preventing any sludge issues. The oil even eliminated some nasty tappet noise due to low oil pressure in my 2002 9-3 after a few seconds when I bought it.
Good results with Castrol Edge Euro full synthetic. No issues. 138,000 miles, no oil consumption or smoke.
Castrol is great option if it is not fake, also make sure to change oil every 10000km (6200 miles). Those engines are bulletproof, should cause no issues
Castrol Edge 5w-30 Full Synthetic Euro Car. It carries the BMW Longlife 01 cert.
I recently did my first track day on a day with 105 degrees temps. I went with Castrol Edge 5w-30 and the car did amazing.
I use Castrol for my 05 320 cdi. It meets the extended service oil spec, but I run it as "regular" oil.
I just hit 19k miles on my 2017 390. I ride it like someone stole it. Also thousands of high revving miles on the highway.
I use nothing but Rotella T6 15w-40. It is really good oil and it is cheaper than almost anything else you can use.
Australia here - they used 10w-30
Feedback from showroom
The 10w-30 is the best oil due to the Australian conditions
Castrol oil MAG
I will never use castrol again, stupid dark bottle is annoying and makes it hard to tell how much is left
