shell long ride sulit for honda click
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.
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
I am using 15W40 Shell Oil for the last 8 years. No issues. 160k Kms on the Odometer
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.
As long as it’s a LL-01, you can put that in. I’m currently running that on my N52.
I have always used shell 10w-40 and did regular oil changes around 4-4.5k. Faced no issues what so ever, engine was still healthy, no oil consumption, almost same performance.
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.
Ive used T6 with good results. The major drawback with T6 is foaming, it's less than great in that regards.
10k miles later, went to do my usual 1k mile quart of oil, looks like chocolate milk.
