Engine oil Mobil or OEM BMW
Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w20 or 5w30 is best in my opinion, and I’ve always just used a fram ultra from Walmart never had any problems and my K20 seemed to enjoy it
If done properly, the vacuum works well. I used to do it on my E36 BMW for years. It does suck out pretty much all oil, I checked it by unscrewing the oil pan plug after the oil had been sucked out.
My tacoma has 352000 miles have always put mobile 1 in it
I personally have run Mobil1 0w-30 in my GSR for the past 250,000+ miles, since back in the mid-2000's.
Of course, after I bought it I dropped the oil and ran what I like to run in my cars/trucks which a Mobil Delvac product 5w-30. It’s a synthetic but it’s more used for the heavy duty market. I checked the oil some 4000 miles later and it had a reddish look to it just like yours. After the next oil change I never saw it again.
Yooo this happened to me, have you used a high mileage type of oil? Apparently when they start to burn up they can change to a reddish hue, I went back to normal Mobil 1 and it’s back to gold
I’m team mobil 1, 160k and going strong.
Mobil 1 5w30 and oem Subaru filter. I change mine pretty religiously at 3750 miles. I know it might be overkill but I’d rather be safe than sorry and if my engine blows up I will for sure know it wasn’t my fault for neglecting maintenance.
I used to do 10k mile oil changes with Mobil 1 EP.
Motul. Really anything except Mobil 1, that shit kills EJ’s.
