vs
Engine oil OEM BMW or Total
I’m using Total 5W30 and pretty satisfied with the performance.
Pros: satisfied with performance
I run Total Quartz 9000 Future FGC 5W-30 in mine. Change every 3500 miles.
Mileage: 5632 km
I use the same oil for my C4 1.6HDi, just 5w-40 and it works great, since I don't have a DPF.
Pros: works great
Vehicle:
Citroen C4
for 1.6hdi 2014. i use total Q ineo ECS 5w-30. Reccomended by the factory for engines with DPF.
Pros: reccomended by the factory
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
Vehicle:
BMW
Original BMW 5w30 LL04. I'm sure other brands with the same specifications will be perfectly fine as well though.
Pros: LL04 approved
I use this oil, Total is like recommended by PSA.
Pros: recommended by PSA
I can personally recommend *Total Quartz Ineo FDE 0W30.* This oil has even better specifications than *Petronas.*
Pros: better specifications
Vehicle:
Alfa Romeo Giulia
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
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 1600 km
