[QUOTE="ehoe, post: 4363, member: 141"] Anyone out there with an old E34 still using fully synthetic oil. Any problem with oil consumption with the thinner fully syn oil?. My 90 E34 on fully syn oil consumes approximately 2L of oil in between every 10K service. So I am assuming perhaps the oil seals aren't so good anymore so perhaps using a thicker oil (semi syn) would be better. Also with the thinner oil the tappets are noisier too. With semi syn, what would be the ideal service internal? Can the semi syn go at least 8k km? Any comments or feedback appreciated ya. [/QUOTE]
