hey u/op ... if its not too late..\n\ndont drain the oil the normal way! the paint would be carried through the oil passages and possibly hardening in them.\n\nsince they poured/sprayed the paint through the opening, its all in that area.
Pros: clean the area
Cons: paint hardening in passages
Vehicle:
BMW
Ravenol is one of the few manufacturers that offers synthetic oils (not all, only those labeled "vollysint").
Pros: offers synthetic oils
3.0 n52 when I got the car it had 5w-30 and the oil was leaking slightly. Changed 5w-40 and the leak stopped all together. Engine is smooth as butter
Pros: leak stopped, engine smooth
Cons: oil was leaking slightly
Vehicle:
BMW
5W-40 is my preferred viscosity for the N52. If you are only topping off, virtually any API SL or newer oil will work just fine. If you are doing a full change though you should source a 5W-40 that meets BMW’s LL-01 specification.
Pros: preferred viscosity
Vehicle:
BMW
As long as it’s a LL-01, you can put that in. I’m currently running that on my N52.

10w60 is the only oil you should put in these. If nothing else, you can usually find it at BMW automobile dealerships as that is what they put in the M3/4 series (or at least used to). Not cheap, but a lot less expensive than engine rebuilds.
Pros: less expensive than rebuilds
Cons: not cheap
Vehicle:
BMW
Olio sempre e solo Ravenol (mi sono studiato le tds di una marea di olii e questo \u00e8 il migliore, lo acquisto sul loro sito tedesco)
Pros: \u00e8 il migliore
Nah you're fine. BMW engines are known for using some oil. Even 1l on 5k km is not much, even the dealership considers this as normal.
Pros: normal oil consumption
Cons: using some oil
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 5000 km
10k miles later, went to do my usual 1k mile quart of oil, looks like chocolate milk.
Pros: blast to drive
Cons: Reliable isnt a word
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 10000 km
