Engine oil Mobil or OEM BMW
Depend on the oil grade that is in the engine.
In proper units that’s -15°C which is very close to the limit of a 10W- oil. I would let such car warm for 5 minutes easily.
If your car is running a 5w or 0w it will be fine to start driving in less than a minute. Which is just the time you need to remove the snow and ice from the windows, how convenient :P
Mobil 1 ESPx2 is the right choice here. The regular 0W-20 does not carry the VW 508 00 approval, whereas the ESP one does. It’s a great oil to use!
Just get Mobil 1 0w-40 better then all of these
Mobil 1 fully synthetic, multi-grade oils only.
Mobil 1 15w-50
M1 fs 0w40 has been working well for me. But this oil does lose some of its viscosity after a couple track days.
I buy mobile1 high mileage 20k mile oil and change it every year (less than 5k miles per year on my G coupe)
Mobil1 0W-30 full synthetic. Just did my first 1000-mile oil change a couple hundred miles ago. Been using Mobil1 0W-40 on my 2011 WRX for 220k miles, tracked, autocrossed, and daily driver duty after 160k miles when I had a head gasket failure and I rebuilt the engine.
Im using Mobil 1 ESP 0w-30 which is a thicker Euro oil here in Upper Midwest USA. I don't notice any difference is sound, acceleration, not efficiency vs 0w-16 and 9w-20 in a 2024 Rav4 Prime XSE.
I sent a few samples from my Ecoboost 3.0 to Blackstone Laboratories at 5k miles each. Mobil 1 and Pennzoil Platinum, both used Fram ultra synthetic filters.Oil was pretty much cashed out. I couldn't imagine going any further than 5k.
