[QUOTE="r37720, post: 466470, member: 906"] I most of the time using Shell for my E60 530d and occasionally Petronas. Honestly after owning the car for almost 5 years, I have found diesel is more robust engine that petrol. The only drawback is loud knocking sound in the morning or little bit black smoke upon rapid acceleration. Few important elements to consider as maintenance: 1. Clean / Change breather valve every year 2. Clean/change or even wash the air filter every 6 month or year - I have experience one time that air filter is a bit dirty and the black smoke is come out during fast acceleration. What I did is just wash the white cloth covering the filter. Make sure you fit is nicely. 3. Clean inlet manifold and MAF/AGR valve once every year - this is a must - in fact UK or europe also practice this. If you are not confidence to DIY, then send it to mechanics but you need to leave the car since the sludge need to be soaked overnight. Note:How to check black smoke> Drive your car at night and stay in front line of traffic light and once green light go to full throttle and see if someone got smoke..hehehe. [/QUOTE]
