Engine oil OEM BMW or Motorcraft
Reviews
On my M135i F21 LCI, I always let the initial cold-start finish until the idle drops and then start driving while not going above 4.000 for the first ca. 5km and not giving full gas until the engine oil temperature is 72c or more.
Been doing that and till now no issues or leaks, the engine is running sweet.
Pros: engine running sweet
Cons: none
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 5 km
I do a 5K oil change interval. I let it warm up for 5+ minutes every morning. Not necessarily because I'm intending to warm it up to operating temp but because that's just how my morning routine goes. I drive moderately and keep the RPM's below 3K and try to keep below 50% load on the engine, aka drive moderately.

Oem Bmw 5w30 longlife 04. I used this for 8 years in my high mileage n47 and sold that thing mint. Go with oem and don't waste a second more thinking about it. Enjoy the car. Just do the changes on time or early and it will be good.
Pros: car ran like a champ
Vehicle:
BMW

I have a BMW e36 and it is standard practice to run an extra quart of oil at the track to prevent oil starvation and lifter tick. I have been doing it for years with dozens of track days along with many other people I know with no issues.
Pros: prevent oil starvation

BMW
'17 f150 5.0l with 150k running 5w-20 motorcraft. Not a single problem and this was used to haul a 12' steel enclosed trailer loaded from day 1 and the wind blows a LOT here. Doesnt use a drop of oil.
Pros: no problems, no oil consumption

Ford
Mileage: 241402 km

Been using the recommended bmw 5w-30 up until recently. However been having to top up 5L every month so the shop switched over to 10w-40 and I haven't seen that I needed to top up yet, but it has only been one and half months so far since the service.
Pros: less top up needed
Cons: high oil consumption
Vehicle:
BMW
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
