I’ve a 01 330ci with 284kms on it and I’ve been running Rotella 5w-40 T6 for a few years and it’s been really good. Keeps it good and clean for 10k change intervals. I probably end up adding 2-3L over that time, which was a vast improvement from when I got the car 30k ago.
Liqui Moly 5w 40 - used this in multiple cars with no issues.
I switched from Castrol Edge 0W-40 to Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 on my E46 325Ci and feel it runs a touch better and doesn't burn as much oil. Before I was adding 1L per \~3000km, now maybe 1L per 5-6000km...
I use LiquiMoly currently, I've used Castrol, Mobile 1 and the BMW OEM. They all meet the BMW LL01 spec so not sure how much of a real difference there is.
The LiquiMoly MolyGen I'm currently using has an additive that glows under black light. Very useful in finding oil leaks.
First impressions - engine is noticeably quieter and smoother at idle. Engine temps is lower by 1 line. slightly better throttle response. As for fuel consumption, i have to drive more my usual route to know if there is an improvement.
I used to run 5w-30 liquimoly, i switched to 5w-40 and all my lifter and cam noise subsided after my second oild change with 5w-40. Id highly reccomend switching to 5w-40 liquimoly.
Rotella T6 0W40.
I have always run Liqui-Moly Longtime High-Tech 5W-30 (blue bottle) in my 2008 NCV3 144" Sprinter in San Diego.
On my mk2 I used Liquimoly, Ravenol and now Castrol. No issues with any of them. I switched to Castrol because Liquimoly became a bit too expensive this year.
I have a 2019 golf r and I run liquid moly 5w-40 ever since I got it 2yrs ago and never had a problem..
