Just use the factory bmw 5w30 oil. If something happens to your engine and they take a sample, if you use the factory stuff they wont void your warranty. You can get it bery reasonably (6-7/ quart from tischer). Filter is cheap too, around $10. I got my stuff from an alternative place which is a little cheaper. Also 0w30 is very thin, a lot of manufacturers put in a lot of effort to make sure the engine doesnt consume the thin oil (different piston rings are used, etc). After warranty ill probably run a ether based oil like redline. |
Local indy shop that specializes in BMWs will do an oil change for $90. I don't have ramps, so I'm considering just using them, but I want ramps so we'll see.
