Engine oil OEM BMW or Motorcraft
Original BMW 5w30 LL04. I'm sure other brands with the same specifications will be perfectly fine as well though.
I ran motorcraft for like 70,000km's and switched to amsoil 5w50 after that.
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.
I’m using Motorcraft 5W-20 Synthetic Blend in all my Panthers with 2500 mile change interval and no issues.
BMW used to recommend you changing oil basically every time you blink, back when consumers paid for 100% of all maintenance. But in order to be more competitive, they began offering 3 year included free maintenance on all new vehicles.
I was having some issues with shuddering when the engine warmed up. Put in Motorcraft 5w20 synth blend in my 2015 XLT 5.0 and it’s been running like a champ
found some FORD Super Duty Diesel oil 15w40.....seems to work pretty well! ford aka motorcraft
ive always used motorcraft diesel oil. 10w30 in the winter and 15w40 in the summer.
Looks to be exact same procedure as on my e46. Perhaps the easiest oil change I've ever done. In fact, I've used the same brand and spec oil too, which is an BMW LL-01.
and the dealership where it got changed used 5w 20 motocraft they sell ford and thing of tht nature im pretty sure its to thin and wasnt synthetic
