I want to say it was 7 quarts of synthetic (N54), and if I was buying I used either BMW branded oil or Liqui Moly (at the recommendation of my friendly local BMW centric indy mechanic)
i am of the mindset of using oil from the region. my GTI is a german car and gets liquimoly, a german oil. my toyota/subaru is Japanese, Idemitsu is a japanese oil (and the oem supplier for Subaru). i have 5w30 in it now.
Just buy liquimolly. Best oils I’ve ever put in my cars.
Liqui Moly only, imo…not worth the risk to save a couple bucks.
You could splurge out on Liquimoly if you want la crème de la crème however.
I use liqui Molly 5w 40 and love it the 5w40 is euro spec not sure the 5w30 is. Depending on your car though you could mostly likely use 5w40 and get great results
Liqui molly is good never tried apex but I run Mobil super and it runs very smooth
Liqui Moly is good stuff, not sure about the other one... Personally, I run Redline in all of my high mileage VW's.
We run LiquiMoly 5W-40 in all of them. UOA testing of heavily modded cars shows significantly less wear on engines running LL-01 oils vs the LL-14FE piss water.
Also going to switch from Motul to LiquiMoly and see if I can tell a difference.
