Engine oil FUCHS or ROWE
Fuchs is excellent oil, run it in my nismo 370z cause it has specific esters that the cylinder liners need. Don't think it's necessary BMW engines but it is very good quality oil.
Rowe 5W40, every 10K or 1 year
Using it for 5 years, changing oil avery 8000-10000 kikomiters, enjine souns good (as for disel car)
I found out that most of it came from the valve lifters. So I began using Rowe 10W40 engine oil. That helped a lot.
The road spec oils are excellent for daily driving and trackdays. Smoother engine, better engine efficiency, no oil consumption.
ITS A LOT THICK! than other brands of the same weight.. but when you abuse the vehicle it gets smooth like butter. I like them if I plan to aggressively dune bash.
I use Rowe as well and it's fantastic. No complains so far
I use rowe on all my cars, amazing oil but it’s more expensive
I used both rowe 5w30 507.00 and the OEM VW HIGH PERFORMENCE 0w30 (yes 0w30) 507.00
I didnt notice any difference between the two . Wear on my oil analysis was about the same with both oils.
I have oil analysis done in my TDI and a 10K OCI is a reach. The factory fill was almost depleted of wear additives at 5,500 miles. Fuchs Titan GT-1 was still serviceable at 7,000 miles, but I would not have carried it out beyond that.
