Engine oil ZIC or OEM BMW
Zic X7 5W30 Gas / Diesel
Mileage: 5000 km
I'm riding a Mio Gear S, and ever since I started using ZIC, the performance has been outstanding. It’s a perfect match for my motorcycle.
Pros: outstanding performance
My supra BMW. Engine oil + filter, ATF + pan, 6 sparkplug, coolant flush and change = RM3840. Comparing like this i think yours should be reasonable + yours is in KD ???? i won’t worry for first time service at the shop.
Pros: reasonable price
Vehicle:
BMW
If done properly, the vacuum works well. I used to do it on my E36 BMW for years. It does suck out pretty much all oil, I checked it by unscrewing the oil pan plug after the oil had been sucked out.
Pros: vacuum works well
Vehicle:
BMW
Zero need to get under the car, I loathe having to do it with my BMW stuff. With the Mrs' Audis I could literally change the oil in a tuxedo & not get a drop of oil on myself.
Pros: clean oil change
Cons: loathe getting under car
Vehicle:
BMW
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.

I’ve been using it as well for nearly 50,000 kms now in my personal car without any issues.
Pros: no issues, good quality
Mileage: 50000 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
I’m currently living in Korea and switched to a ZIC SK Enmove X8 5w-30 full synthetic and OEM Kia filter 26300-35505. Pretty much directly after ticking started.
Cons: ticking started after switch
Vehicle:
Kia
Part number: 26300-35505
