I change the oil myself...to ensure it's done correctly and with quality oil (I use Castrol Edge). And I go by the oil minder. I do smell gas during oil changes but it's not strong and never in the cabin between oil changes as some have reported.
I use Mobil one in Canada when it goes on sale synthetic 0W20 10 k intervals 13 yr old corolla 1.8 and 15 yr old tundra 5.7 350 k and 320 km ; no oil consumption work great
You must use Mobil 1 0W40!
Go for 5W40 rating. They work the best for all BMW diesel engines. I’d recommend the Mobil 1
Both are good, the high mileage and the restore and protect. I personally run Mobil 1 high mileage full synthetic with a wix filter and it has been great for me.
04 Silverado, 186k been using Mobile 1 full synthetic for the last 10+ years. Runs great!
My 02 Avalanche has has mobile 1 full synthetic it's entire life, and has 750k miles on the original engine. Never been opened or rebuilt. Piston slaps like a diesel on start up, but still running great.
I have a 2010 civic si, I use shell rotella T-6 5w-40 due to burning issues and one quart of Castrol 5w-30 high mileage full synthetic (I’m picky lol- but my car runs smooth and has consistent oil levels on the dipstick through the weeks after oil change)
My ‘15 Golf Sportwagen ate a quart Mobil 1 between oil changes. Not the case for LM.
The mobil one was like some kind of extended use oil. It said it was good to go for like 20k miles or something lol. The engine burned a quart of it in the 10k miles I felt safe running it for
