Engine oil LIQUI MOLY or MOTUL
Motul has been phenomenal for me
I’ve tested a few Liqui Moly mixtures and so far my favorite has actually been the Molygen though it’s not recommended it does meet their LL04 standard. Special Tec is a viable option as well and recommended by BMW. I’d say either is a great option for the longevity of the engine. I’ve had my car for 50k KM (20K Miles roughly) and I’ve had no issues whatsoever so far!
I use Castrol Edge or Liqui Moly, in both the cars.
I use LM2332 in my e46 and wouldn’t put any other oil in it. Great company great oil.
Only used Motul 300V 5w30 or 5w40 since I bought the car new in 2009. Today I'm on 178k kilometers and still on the first chain and chain tensioner. No rattle, no oil consumption or what so ever.
After using Castrol for \~16 years I switched reluctantly to Liquid Moly, I say reluctant because the Castrol was so highly suggested to use.
Result is that while using Castrol all of those years I would have to add 1/2 to 1 quart of oil in between 5-6K oil changes. I drive the car hard and was told mild oil burning is normal for the S54 engine.
I have been using the Liquid Moly for the last few years and I do not burn any oil in between changes, and my engine oil runs at a lower temperature then it ever has in the past.
I use 5w30. First time used Castrol, now I use Liqui Moly. Both worked great, the second one is cheaper in my country which is awesome because I’m changing the oil every 5k.
I change my oil between the service changes and use a indy shop. They charge $125 for liquid moli.
I use Motul the best IMHO
Liquimoly every 5k miles. I think keeping up with the maintenance and using good oil is the only reason this motor is still going.
