Engine oil OEM BMW or Lucas
I used lucas in my honda and will use it on my next change for harley
Pros: will use again
Vehicle:
Honda
Personally I run Lucas oil in mine, not just my current zzr600, but even my older vintage bikes when I had them. It isn’t crazy expensive and is high quality.
Pros: high quality, not expensive
Original BMW 5w30 LL04. I'm sure other brands with the same specifications will be perfectly fine as well though.
Pros: LL04 approved
I run Lucas in all 3 holes and my bike has been cooler, less noise and shifts smoother than it did when I got it and it had Harley fluids in it.
Pros: cooler, less noise
Right now I have some Lucas High Performance, but the brand is relatively immaterial to me. As long as it's a reputable brand and it meets the spec in the manual.
Pros: meets manual spec
Cons: brand relatively immaterial
I recommend checking your oil level at 3000 miles because some vehicles burn oil. BMW and Audi especially, at 1500~2000miles I will top off.
Pros: check oil level
Cons: vehicles burn oil
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 3000 km
My Miata has almost 300k on the original head gasket I started using the far right a few times ago and I don’t leak a lick of oil
Pros: no oil leak
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 300000 km
I’m not going to argue with anyone about what it does but I’ve used Lucas for a long long time I have a 93 Chevy truck with 400k miles that I have never taken care of correctly I have run it out of oil overheated it overloaded it and abused and mistreated the engine in that truck and its still able to do any thing I need it to.
Pros: engine still able to function
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
Mileage: 400000 km
So I drained the gearbox while I was there and refilled with 1/4 Lucas oil, the rest 80/90
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Oil consumption is a common problem. My original E92 consumed a quart of oil every 1K miles. My current car does not.
Cons: high oil consumption
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 1600 km
