Engine oil ZIC or OEM BMW
Zic M9 10w40 fully synthetic ako for Honda Click. Changed oil every 2k km. 29k odo and never pa ko binigyan ng problema
Pros: no problems
Vehicle:
Honda
Mileage: 2000 km
Been using it for several years already and very popular brand na sya ngayon since anak ni Lucio Tan ang distributor.
Use their X7 if you plan to change oil every 6 months. Use X7000 for yearly changes.
Pros: popular brand, longer use
I recommend checking your oil level at 3000 miles because some vehicles burn oil. BMW and Audi especially, at 1500~2000miles I will top off.
Pros: check oil level
Cons: vehicles burn oil
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 3000 km
Used zic for several years with no issues. This year lang ako nagpalit ng ibang brand since nagmahal na zic dun sa suking auto supply ko.
Pros: no issues experienced
Cons: price increased
I’ve been using zic oil for 6 years now. Ok naman I did not experience any issue.
Pros: no issues experienced
BMW used to recommend you changing oil basically every time you blink, back when consumers paid for 100% of all maintenance. But in order to be more competitive, they began offering 3 year included free maintenance on all new vehicles.
Vehicle:
BMW
Looks to be exact same procedure as on my e46. Perhaps the easiest oil change I've ever done. In fact, I've used the same brand and spec oil too, which is an BMW LL-01.
Pros: easiest oil change
Vehicle:
BMW
Based on extensive testing, BMW has approved only certain engine oils. Use only approved "BMW High Performance Synthetic Oil." If you are unable to obtain "BMW High Performance Synthetic Oil," you can add small amounts of synthetic oil in between oil changes.
Pros: BMW approved oils
Vehicle:
BMW
