Engine oil Eneos or OEM BMW
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.
Pros: car ran like a champ
Vehicle:
BMW
I have used Eneos 5w30 in it since I bought it. This is a group 5 oil and I believe that it saved my ass. Last summer going to work my car blew the top radiator hose off. I was about 3 miles from work and so I decided to just drive it. The temp gauge was pegged all the way. Come to find out my radiator inlet broke since it was plastic. I was able to get the hose back on after work and filled it up with coolant. Replaced the radiator with an aluminum CSF two row and knock on wood everything has been good since. Not losing water or oil and no smoke coming out the tailpipe or anything.
Pros: engine protection, no oil/water loss after overheating
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 95000 km
I’ve had a few oil samples analyzed of ENEOS and the OEM 0W-8 and the results are promising at 3k intervals.
Pros: promising results
Mileage: 4828 km
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.
Pros: prevent oil starvation
Vehicle:
BMW
Original BMW 5w30 LL04. I'm sure other brands with the same specifications will be perfectly fine as well though.
Pros: LL04 approved
My shop has a racing team and I've been using it ever since he got a sponsor.
Pros: used by racing team
Cons: expensive
I change my oil and the filter every 5000km,and my engine is running smooth after 280.000 Kms,with no oil consumption. Use ONLY full synthetic oil. Personally i use Eneos oil.
Pros: engine running smooth
Cons: no oil consumption
Mileage: 280000 km
Been using Eneos & changing it every 4k miles/4 months. Congrats on the WRX
Pros: using Eneos
Vehicle:
Subaru
Been using the recommended bmw 5w-30 up until recently. However been having to top up 5L every month so the shop switched over to 10w-40 and I haven't seen that I needed to top up yet, but it has only been one and half months so far since the service.
Pros: less top up needed
Cons: high oil consumption
Vehicle:
BMW
Oil consumption is a common problem. My original E92 consumed a quart of oil every 1K miles. My current car does not.
Cons: high oil consumption
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 1600 km
