You want to know how your oil is doing? Send it to Blackstone labs for testing. Cost $35 but worth it in my opinion. I send my 8k oil (Liquy Moly, from my CC) and it was still very good!
This stuff is amazing, totally worth the extra money.
I use this for ever oil change and I've had no problems, CEL, or oil consumption. I drive it hard with autox and have done 20+hour road trips.
Liqui Moly makes some excellent products.
I can confidently say this ‘leichtlauf’ oil really makes a difference. The engine feels healthy on cold starts, hot starts, hard acceleration, etc. Use this oil????????
after 1k of changing my oil I have to say the Liqui_moly remains pretty clear compared to when I used Castrol.
My 2001 330i loves Mobil 1 0w-40
Been running it for years on the stuff .
my consumption was terrible when running Castrol .... Now it's pretty decent .... Especially for winter time .... Liquimoly is ace.
It helped significantly! Went from burning Castrol to liquimoly which burns way less. Also I use a liquimoly sealer now and then to reduce consumption.
I use Mobil 1 European Car Formula 0W-40. This meets VW 502.00 specs and has a slightly wider multigrade range that suits the climate where I live: it'll be -15°F overnight this week, but well up into the nineties in summer. This Mobil 1 is also readily available almost anywhere, and was also approved for our previous BMW 525i and is for the Audi Q5 that's replaced it, so using the same oil for both simplifies my automotive life.
