Last service, I put 8.5L of Mannol 7908 in my e320 cdi. No issues so far
As long as the oil meets the BMW longlife-04 specification it will be fine.
I use Mannol 5w30 premium which has BMW LL-04 on the back of the bottle.
Oil being dark is a good indicator that you have to do an oil change. However, you shouldn't wait until it changes color to do it. Clear oil doesn't necessarily mean you can keep going.
It is well established that boxer engines want their oil changed and I do not think for a second that a visual inspection is valid for determining if it is time. Highly, **highly** recommend you change the oil per the manual without hesitation and regardless of what it looks like.
Any oil that meets the manufacturer's specification for your car will be fine. Mannoil 5W30 fully synthetic meets VW 502.00 and ebay sell 5L for about £17 - why pay more?
Definitely better well known brands out there for cheaper prices. Look at Mannol oil. Mannol served me well.
I use Mannol. 5l of the stuff in 5w-35 retails at about £20 on eBay which is a damn good price.
I've always had good luck with manol oils.
id put 17 at the okay point but any lower is not good - well my subaru would do about 18-17psi at idle so im sure alls fine
Mannol is cheap for a reason as you never know what you will get in a bottle.
