Engine oil ZIC or OEM BMW
ZIC - Dito ako nag stay, ang tahimik sa makina, both matic and manual. Malamig din sa makina.
Pros: tahimik sa makina, malamig
Oem Bmw 5w30 longlife 04. I used this for 8 years in my high mileage n47 and sold that thing mint. Go with oem and don't waste a second more thinking about it. Enjoy the car. Just do the changes on time or early and it will be good.
Pros: car ran like a champ
Vehicle:
BMW
Personal experience ko from 15W40 Delo Gold to Zic 10W40 to 5W30 Full Synthetic sa 1.6L Diesel Accent mas naging responsive & rev happy yung makina sa 5W30 Full Synthetic kahit sa 10W40 kasi na Full Synthetic hindi siya happy parang pigil yung makina & less responsive siya.
Pros: responsive & rev happy
Cons: pigil yung makina
Vehicle:
Hyundai Accent
Been using Zic on two Hyundais (Tucson, Santa Fe), and ok yung performance niya. Maintained yung cars with fully synthetic, 10k/1 year intervals. Smooth pa rin manakbo ang engine until today.
Pros: smooth engine performance
Vehicle:
Hyundai Tucson
Mileage: 10000 km
Been using that oil on my Gen 3 Montero since 2020, and ok naman, no complaints.
Pros: ok naman, no complaints
Vehicle:
Mitsubishi Montero
Better to use ZIC X7 fs oil. Korean oil.
Been using it for several years and it’s amazing for its price.
Pros: amazing for its price
I currently use Zic 5W-20 oil in my mirage
it has around 190kms
Vehicle:
Mitsubishi Mirage
Mileage: 190 km
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
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
